As per the company, the tag team champions "walked into the WWE head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis' office with their suitcases in hand, placed their tag team championship belts on his desk and walked out."
The statement further revealed that Banks and Naomi felt that they "weren't respected enough" as the tag team champions. The duo also admitted to being "uncomfortable in the ring with two of their opponents" despite having worked with them in the past with "no consequences."
WWE later changed the main event to a singles match between Asuka and Becky Lynch. During the announcement, RAW commentator Corey Graves called out Banks and Naomi for "unprofessionally leaving the arena."
