10 Times WWE Logic Led To F***ing Stupid Moments

Then-Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi decided enough was enough back in May 2022, dumping their belts on then-Head of Talent Relations' John Laurinaitis' desk due to creative frustrations and walking out on that edition of Raw.

Brock Lesnar then went and did something similar a few months later, storming out of a SmackDown show on the back of being p*ssed over Vince McMahon's sudden retirement.

Yet, while the aforementioned ladies were ultimately suspended and buried on WWE programming in the wake of their walk out, Brock was welcomed back onto the blue show before the end of the night, with a star who also once turned his back on WWE in CM Punk being quick to call out (via Absolute Geek Podcast) these evident double standards.

And unsurprisingly, both Banks and Naomi eventually didn't opt to return to WWE TV down the road, instead popping up in NJPW and Impact, respectively, in 2023.

The way WWE decided to handle the pair's exit already felt pretty petty and foolish even before Lesnar's own brief departure.

But their blatant and rather stupid one rule for one star and another for the others approach to Brock splitting on the day of a show likely didn't do much to convince either woman it was worth sticking around in this illogical workplace.
