Conflicting reports regarding the backstage reaction to Sasha Banks/Naomi's RAW exit

Sasha Banks and Naomi continue to be the talk of the wrestling world after walking out of WWE earlier this week.

Minutes into WWE RAW on Monday, Sasha Banks and Naomi reportedly walked into John Laurinaitis' office and placed the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on his desk. The duo then left the building, so the company changed the advertised six-pack challenge main event into a singles match between Becky Lynch and Asuka.

Since Monday night, there have been numerous reports regarding how other performers view what Banks and Naomi did, and most of them were negative.

A new update from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, has contradicted what has been reported elsewhere. He has spoken to "numerous talent in and out of WWE" that have been supportive of the stance that Banks and Naomi took at RAW on Monday. That being said, he also noted that a much larger group believes that walking out during the show "isn't fine."

Is Sasha Banks well-liked backstage in WWE?

Since walking out of WWE this week, several reports have painted Sasha Banks as someone who is considered hard to deal with.

According to people SRS has spoken to, the idea of Banks not being liked backstage has "eased up" over the last few months. Ross Sapp cited one talent who said that she's been more "outgoing" since her return to the company last year. However, another source said they were surprised that reports of Banks' attitude backstage hadn't come out before.

Referring to the statement that WWE released during the third hour of RAW, one talent told Sapp that they believed this was done in order to try and turn the superstars against one another. But they also felt a simple phone call between talent could settle any confusion that the statement might have caused.

Both Banks and Naomi have gone radio silent since Monday, with neither woman publicly commenting on the matter. If one of them decides to speak up and tell their side of the story, it would be very interesting to hear what they have to say.
