Yesterday, Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc reported that Sasha Banks had been released from WWE. Although, the report came from only one side, and others did not confirm the news.
Sean Ross of Fightful reported that they spoke to WWE sources yesterday. But they stated that they were unaware of Sasha Banks’ release.
“I spoke with Raj this afternoon and asked WWE about this. As of this evening, they said they hadn’t heard that, and talent relations didn’t seem to know.
Not saying that it didn’t or isn’t happening, but this is what I’ve heard so far when I asked. Raj has good sources“
Several weeks ago, Ringside News reported that Sasha Banks’ situation was handled by her attorneys. Andrew Zarian of Mat Men podcast noted that he could not confirm Sasha Banks’ release, but Zarian stated that he heard last week that Banks’ legal team was working on getting to take it from WWE.
“I cannot confirm she’s been released, but I did hear late last week that her attorneys were working on getting this done.“
Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of the May 16th episode of Monday Night RAW after a creative disagreement with Vince McMahon. Following their walking out on RAW, WWE stripped them from the Women’s Tag Team Titles and suspended both women indefinitely. Later, WWE removed Sasha and Naomi’s merchandise from WWE Shop.

Bye bye Sasha!! You can't t just walk out of work and expect nothing to happen. If I walk out of my job I'll need to find a new job. So, so should you!!
Literally no legal action you can take. you walked out and were in breach of contract
Difference being, she’s independently contracted. She’s not your typical employee at a job.
The thing is, if you want to quit your job, you can, because nobody cares if you go to work.
Wrestlers don't have that option. Sasha wants out, let her go. I'm sure you guys will continue finding reasons to be outraged with her no matter where she's working.
