UPDATE 2: We can add Bayley to the list of WWE talent who have reacted to Sasha Banks and Naomi’s walk out from last night’s Raw taping. Bayley, who was of course Banks’ tag team partner and co-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with her, posted to her Twitter account to share a quote from The Sandlot. She wrote:

“Remember…follow your heart, kid, and you’ll never go wrong”

UPDATE: More wrestlers and former WWE talents are chiming in on the Sasha Banks and Naomi situation via Twitter, including former WWE Superstars Matt Cardona (aka Zack Ryder), CM Punk, and FTR’s Dax Harwood.

Cardona initially tweeted earlier today, “If I could go back in time…the night I was pushed off the stage in a wheelchair on Raw, I should have walked into Johnny Ace’s office…placed my neck brace on the table and walked out because I wasn’t being respected enough as Internet Champion.”

That prompted a response from CM Punk later on. Punk, who opted to quit WWE in early 2014 and had his own issues with the company at the time, wrote, “If you’d go back in time to stand up for yourself, you should stand up the workers now.”

Meanwhile, Dax Harwood tweeted out a photo of himself and Cash Wheeler with Sasha Banks. Harwood tweeted, “Always, always, ALWAYS stand up for what you believe in. F***ing ALWAYS!!!” You can view those tweets below:

ORIGINAL: As previously reported, the professional wrestling world has been rocked with the reveal that WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi took their balls and went home, leaving last night’s edition of WWE Raw following a rumored creative dispute with WWE higher-ups. WWE even issued an official statement on the incident, stating, “During the broadcast, they walked into WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis office with their suitcases in hand, placed their tag team championship belts on his desk and walked out.”

Since the news broke, several wrestlers, including former WWE talents, have commented on the news via social media, including former WWE wrestlers Mia Yim and Killian Dain (aka Big Damo).

Other wrestlers who weighed in include former AEW talents Joey Janela and Big Swole, who is also married to WWE Superstar Cedric Alexander.

At the top of last night’s Raw, Sasha Banks and Naomi were originally scheduled to compete in a Six-Pack Challenge to determine a new contender for WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. The match was ultimately changed to Asuka vs. Becky Lynch.
