Sasha Banks and Naomi will take part in Vulture Festival 2022.

In an event announced today, Banks (billed as Mercedes Varnado) and Naomi (billed as Trinity Fatu) will "just vibe for like an hour" at Vulture's pop culture event in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 12.

Vulture writes:

Have you ever been in the presence of real legends? Well, lucky you because this is your opportunity to see Mercedes Varnado and Trinity Fatu (also known as Sasha Banks and Naomi of WWE Superstar fame) live and in person for one night only. We’ll look back on some of their favorite memories, play some games, and maybe even do a little dancing? No bad vibes and nothing out of pocket — just a fun night feeling the glow with two legit bosses we’ve missed a whole lot.
Vulture Festival is a pop culture spectacle where Vulture (the website, not the bird) comes to life right before your very eyes. Curated by our very own editors, it’s a weekend of live and in-person panels with some of your favorite stars and creators, where we can all obsess together over the culture we so love.
Vulture Festival will be held at The Hollywood Roosevelt. Tickets for Varnado and Fatu's event are on sale, with prices ranging from $25 to $37. Jamie Lee Curtis, Kumail Nanjiani, and Henry Winkler are among other celebrities advertised for panels at the event.

Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE on May 16, vacating the Women's Tag Team Championship in the process. The pair were suspended indefinitely by former WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

Reports later suggested that at least Banks had received her WWE release, reports that WWE has never confirmed nor denied. Still more reports would later suggest that Banks and Naomi had reached a deal to return to the company.

Though no return to WWE has officially been announced, WWE is mentioned by name in the Vulture announcement. Additionally, Banks is advertised for a season one episode of USA Network's Barmageddon, which premieres on December 5. Additionally, Varnado posted photos from a training session at a wrestling school in Barcelona, Spain.

Varnado has also partnered with former WWE star Kalisto and his wife Abigail in the Kanndela Labs CBD company, which won Best Newcomer in the World CBD Awards last week in Barcelona.

During their wrestling hiatus, Varnado and Fatu have also modeled in New York and Los Angeles Fashion Week events.

Supposedly they played an old intro for Crown Jewel but can't confirm nor deny that, or understand why they would do that. I do hope he's left out again on Raw though :beckylol

I am, I wanna see him have a meltdown and how he manages to bring Becky up and blame her for it.
