WWE legend and current AEW star Mark Henry believes calling Sasha Banks and Naomi on air after their walkout was wrong.

For those unaware, The Boss and The Glow walked out from RAW due to rumored creative differences ahead of a six-pack challenge to determine Bianca Belair's next opponent. Not only did WWE suspend them, but the commentators on both the red and blue brand also called them out for the incident.

Since the walkout debacle, many have come out to support Banks and Naomi in their decision. One among them is WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry.

The Hall of Famer discussed the incident on Busted Open Radio. Henry gave his take on RAW commentator Corey Graves mentioning the two superstars' names on-air after their walkout:

Former WWE writer buries Judgment Day HERE

"If I was Uce [Jimmy Uso], and Corey Graves said that about my wife, there would've been an incident... If Vince told him to say it, I would've asked Vince. Nobody's exempt. There isn't one person I wouldn't have said something to." [30:50 - 31:53]

Becky Lynch and Corey Graves have mentioned the former champions on WWE programming. The former recalled them leaving the arena, and Graves was allegedly directed to state that they "summarily and unprofessionally left the arena."


Sasha Banks unfollowed several WWE Superstars on Twitter

As we mentioned earlier, Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE RAW ahead of a huge match. The Boss was reportedly unhappy with the creative team.

The former Women's Tag Team Champions headed to John Laurinaitis' office before the show, surrendered their titles, and left the venue.

According to reports, Sasha Banks allegedly unfollowed the official WWE accounts of Vince McMahon and other prominent superstars like Roman Reigns, The Usos, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and Bayley on Twitter.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion currently follows six accounts: John Cena, Naomi, Tamina, Snoop Dogg, and two fan accounts. It will be interesting to see where the tag division is headed as the titles have been vacated. A tournament has been announced to crown new champions.
