Jimmy Uso took to Instagram to offer support for his wife, Naomi, and Sasha Banks.
As previously noted, Naomi and Banks walked out of this week's episode of WWE Raw due to discontent with the planned main event. Apparently, WWE had plans for Naomi to win a Six-Pack Challenge (the initial planned main event) to set up a Raw Women's Championship with Bianca Belair.
Naomi's husband shared his support for the Women's Tag Team Championship holders on his Instagram story. You can see screenshots of the images he posted below:
Following the decisions of Banks and Naomi to walk out, WWE had to switch up the plans. In the main event, Becky Lynch went one-one-one with Asuka to determine the No. 1 contender for Belair's title. The Empress of Tomorrow defeated Lynch to earn a championship opportunity against The EST of WWE.

Raw commentator Corey Graves addressed the walkout incident during the broadcast, stating that Banks and Naomi "summarily and unprofessionally left the arena." WWE soon confirmed the reports of a walkout in a statement, which claimed that Banks and Naomi placed their championship belts on the desk in John Laurinaitis' office. The statement also read that Banks and Naomi both "claimed they weren't respected enough as tag team champions."
Neither talent has offered a statement on the incident, and WWE hasn't provided any updates on the matter. Given the value they both have to WWE, it would be a surprise if Vince McMahon ultimately decided to release one or both talents.
Banks & Naomi: A Wait-And-See Situation
WWE officials obviously have a lot to sort through as they try to resolve the matter. It was reported that the WWE locker room and management were baffled by the decisions of both stars to walk out. If Banks and Naomi aren't back for next week's episode of Raw, WWE will soon have to make a decision on the long-term direction of the Women's Tag Team Championship belts. The entire situation is worth following closely until a resolution is met.
