However, Wrestling Observer Dave Meltzer gave the possible reason for Naomi’s walkout. On his Wrestling Observer Radio. He stated, “The deal is, and this was brought up to me as well, is that her [Naomi’s] contract, I guess it’s expiring soon, but she’s been in negotiations for a new deal.”

“It’s possible that they might go with the idea that she’s not leaving no matter what, her family’s here, and so they don’t feel the leverage that they might have felt with Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn or someone where if we lowball them, they’re gonna leave, so we have to give them a pretty big offer.

Other than the creative differences, it might be possible that, as Naomi’s contract is about to end, she walked out to acquire the finest deal possible.

WWE removed Naomi and Banks from their iconic “Then. Now. Forever” intro.

Following the walk-out incident, WWE recently confirmed that Banks and Naomi had been indefinitely suspended.  WWE has pulled Banks and Naomi’s merchandise from their website.
