Charlotte Flair weighs in on Sasha Banks and Naomi walking out in May.
Charlotte and Banks will forever be connected as they came up the ranks together in NXT and as part of the Four Horsewomen alongside Bayley and Becky Lynch. Banks & Naomi walked out of WWE on the May 16 episode of WWE Raw despite being the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Banks reportedly met with Vince McMahon at the show and was reportedly "unhappy with a situation" and neither would reportedly budge. They were indefinitely suspended on the subsequent episode of WWE SmackDown.
Charlotte hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania Backlash when she lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to Ronda Rousey.
Speaking to Steve Austin on Broken Skull Sessions, Charlotte was asked for her thoughts on Sasha and Naomi walking out.
"One, I haven't been there, because I left after (WrestleMania) Backlash. I know what it's like to jump on social media and read these headlines that are so far from the truth. I don't know what happened. What I can say is, I can't imagine never wrestling Sasha again. That would be hard for me to compartmentalize. We started together. She's my Ricky Steamboat, my dad always tells her that. With Trin [Naomi], we just had a hell of a match on SmackDown and I'm like, 'Oh, there is unfinished business there' because of circumstances and storylines and whatever, we just, 'here, you two wrestle.' For me, I just can't imagine not working with them. In terms of what they're going through, it's not my place to speak on behalf of the company or them because I'm not there right now," she said.
Banks & Naomi have not publicly commented on the situation and their current WWE status is unknown.
Charlotte was off television as she married Andrade El Idolo and went on her honeymoon. It is unknown when she will be back on TV.
