No pay until the suspension is lifted for Naomi and Sasha Banks.
It looks like Sasha Banks and Naomi have been put under a lot of pressure by the WWE since their walkout. With public statements, on TV burials and an indefinite suspension, Banks and Naomi have been used to send a message to the rest of the roster. The pair’s suspension was announced live on SmackDown last week.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer revealed that WWE is not paying Sasha Banks and Naomi while they sit at home during their suspension.
The suspension is without pay. In addition, the company pulled all of their merchandise from its website, meaning they would not get any new merchandise revenue. There was merchandise for both women available at the live shows over the weekend because that stuff is prepared ahead of time.

This is done by design, as WWE will be looking to pressure the pair into returning to the company to resume payment. Time will tell how long the pair will be suspended – and how long they will not be paid by the company.
