You had to know this was coming.

Naomi walked into John Laurinaitis' office before the 16 May edition of Raw and placed her Women's Tag Team Title belt on his desk. Then, she and partner Sasha Banks walked out on the promotion and had made headlines worldwide by the time WWE's flagship went live.

Everyone's still in the dark about what her plans are. Naomi's husband, Jimmy Uso, is a regular on TV with The Bloodline. That's a pretty major spot too, and there doesn't appear to be any beef between Uso and company management. That's a guess, obviously, but things seem solid on that front.

Naomi's future is still unclear though. She hasn't wrestled since a 15 May house show, and didn't officially drop the tag straps on TV. WWE has moved on from Naomi and Sasha in the interim, but may revisit their partnership if they return at any point pre-WrestleMania.
