This might be cheating somewhat, so stick with it.

Naomi was on the outs from WWE as soon as she dumped one of the Women's Tag belts on management's desk backstage on Raw in May 2022, but didn't confirm she was officially gone until March 2023. So, basically, there's a chance the current TNA star was just suspended up until that point.

Sasha Banks, who walked out alongside her, is presumably a little different. Her contract reportedly lapsed at the end of 2022 anyway, which meant Banks was free to become Mercedes Mone and do her own thing if she wished. Naomi had to play a bit of a waiting game.
