Yeah, Naomi and Sasha dropped the titles and went home. Talk about frustration.

These ladies have been VERY BADLY booked for a while now.

For them to walk out on the show, the main event must have been something really problematic for them.

EDIT: some people are saying it’s a work given the wording of WWEs statement. This is a solid “let’s wait and see”.

This isn't a work. WWE did this exact thing when Stone Cold walked out in 2002. All they need to do now is bury them on air

EDIT: Mainstream outlets are picking up the story.

Maybe, but WWE have dealt with Sasha's unprofessionalism before.

Hard not to be when the company you work for has been one the most unprofessional for thirty years.

Seems Sasha REALLY likes the Tag Belts and Naomi doesn't like the Championship belt, though she would probably lose.
One thing we all know, Vince HATES anything Tag Related.

It seems to me Naomi doesn't want to put her belt on the back burner to prop up the singles belt.

Good for them. Vince has downgraded Sasha ever since she stepped on the main roster. Alexa Bliss has had better title runs - ridiculous. There's only so much a person can take even when they're being paid well.

Sasha's last run with the title is honestly the best she's been used on the main roster. It's a shame that her (and Bayley) best main roster work happened during an era with no fans.

VERY curious to see how this unfolds. I feel like there's a full story here that we're eventually going to see.

It's also a good illustration of where WWE's neglect of their larger corporate image is liable to work against them; the company is a "heel" in a large part of the audience's eyes whenever it's pitched against its own talent, and as much as the corporation loves to argue their only concerned about business and their product, it's long been a "proven" assumption that they get in the way of both out of misplaced control-freak tendencies.

Sasha and Naomi are starting with some cache here even if the overall story won't playout that way largely because WWE fits the bill of "neglectful, toxic corporation" too well.

Definitely a shame.

PW insider provided an update on the situation

The plan was for Naomi to win the six pack and challenge Bianca Belair for the title in Hell in a Cell. In the build up to the PPV Sasha would challenge Rousey for her title at the PPV. Not wanting to put their belts on the backburner they countered with a pitch to defend the tag belts against Dudrop and Nikki. Their pitch was turned down.

Quoted in agreement.

I checked out Wrestlemania 5 and this one had more interesting matches I thought.

Hulk Hogan vs. Randy "Macho Man" Savage was good. I didn't think much of their match but I loved seeing the (formerly Midnight) Rockers in the WWF, even if they didn't really last that long as a team there.

I liked the Hart Foundation vs. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine & The Honkytonk Man.

I loved The Brain Busters beating Strike Force, even with the Rick Martel is a dick angle coming out.

That's kind of where the Manias started getting better from an in-ring aspect. A bigger presence of people like Macho Man, Hart working his way up the card, Flair coming in soon. There was still some nonsense of them, but they had some good workrate machines working at the time.

Perhaps, but I watched Wrestlemania 6 last night and have to say that I didn't really care for any of the matches in that one.

It was a slow process, but it was a process as they started to move to the whole "New Generation" thing.

Hogan vs Warrior was, for its time, a great entertaining one. I grew up with those matches, and so I see them sorta thru two different lenses. Hogan vs Warrior still holds up some for me.

Yes, slow. 7, 8, 9 are Manias where there's like 1 or 2 matches on each of those Manias that has that better in-ring action.
