Jimmy Uso, the husband of Naomi, has responded to her and Sasha Banks’ decision to walk out during the latest episode of WWE Raw.

According to PWInsider, the main event of the May 16th edition of WWE Raw had to be changed at short notice after Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of the arena as the show went on the air . At the time, it was thought this was because of Banks’ frustration over creative plans. The original match was meant to be a six-pack challenge to determine the next contender for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship which would have included Sasha Banks, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Nikki ASH, Doudrop, and Asuka.

According to the report, Banks expressed creative concerns to Vince McMahon but the WWE Chairman decided not to change the plans and she decided to walk out instead of participating in the match. Her tag team partner Naomi left alongside her. The pair’s departure led to a segment on the show where Becky Lynch confronted Adam Pearce and the main event was changed to Becky Lynch vs. Asuka, with The Empress of Tomorrow emerging victorious.

Since the pair walked out, many wrestling personalities have commented on the situation with some supporting the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions’ decision and others defending WWE.

The latest star to react to the situation is Naomi’s husband and current SmackDown Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso. While not directly commenting, the star did post two photos to his Instagram story on May 18th showing Banks and Naomi with the Women’s Tag Team Championships, seemingly in support of the duo.

Sasha Banks’ husband Sarath Ton, who is a WWE Costume Designer, also commented recently, calling out a Ringside News report claiming that Sasha and Naomi had been removed from WWE events through to July as “next level bulls**t”.
