“I cannot confirm she’s been released, but I did hear late last week that her attorneys were working on getting this done.”

In late May, a former WWE writer said that Sasha Banks and Naomi were up for contract renewals at the time of their walkout. It was said that both women’s deals would run out within two months. There was speculation that WWE might try to freeze those contracts since Sasha and Naomi were not showing up for work.

With Sasha Banks’ lawyers now involved, it could be a matter of time before we know more about her future with WWE. Sasha would instantly become a coveted free agent should she choose to stick with professional wrestling. Stick with Ringside News for all the latest on this breaking story.
