Normally, a solitary tweet posting a motivational video would not generate any kind of news, but when it's the first real social media activity from an act that publicly walked out of WWE four weeks ago, it's going to be noted.

On Saturday, Naomi tweeted a 30-second video Instagram video from fitness trainer McDonald Jean-Louis listing "five things you need to hear today." Among the positive messages expressed were, "You can look at it as rejection, or you can look at it as redirection," and "You might have to let others down to make yourself happy."

The tweet is the first from either Naomi or Sasha Banks since then then-WWE Women's Tag Team Champions walked out of the company during the May 16 edition of Monday Night Raw. The duo handed their titles over when they left, and WWE formally stripped them of the championship that week, announcing a tournament to crown new champs, but nothing has been announced since then.

Banks has not tweeted or posted to Instagram since the walkout, though she was caught on video the Friday after the protest at a Steve Aoki concert. Naomi has posted only a single Instagram video of her and husband Jimmy Uso at the beach before Saturday's video.

Given that neither woman has publicly commented about their walkout or even posted anything even remotely touching on their recent spat with WWE, Naomi's choice of an inspirational video about rejection/redirection, defining fun, and letting others down to make yourself happy could be telling. Without any other comments or context, it's open to fans' interpretations.

Meanwhile, WWE is still missing two veteran performers as it heads into a busy summer season with two of it's "Big Five" PLEs on the horizon -- Money in the Bank and SummerSlam -- as well as their first UK stadium show in 30 years, Clash at the Castle.
