How long after Toni Storm walked out did they actually release her?

Because even though they walked out(if they really want out), their contracts aren’t null and void.

Fairly soon after for whatever reason, I think she actually got it before she left the show we just didn't hear about it until later or something, only that she left

I can totally buy uncomfortable. Not in the "unsafe" way that people seem to be jumping all over, but in the sense that they (Sasha) seemed to want to focus on the tag titles so they were uncomfortable with the creative plan of Asuka/Becky being involved.

Uncomfortable with creative I could buy, they're clearly framing it as uncomfortable working with them in the ring though lol so yeah maybe they did say that and the spin doctors ran with it this way, that's believable and fits with most everything else reported

even though they had eight hours to rehearse and construct their match, they claimed they were uncomfortable in the ring with two of their opponents even though they'd had matches with those individuals in the past with no consequence.

I don't see how you can read this and think WWE isn't saying they at least thought Sasha and Naomi had an issue with specifically in-ring work lol nothing about creative plans mentioned, just ring-work

You've convinced me that they probably did say they were uncomfortable with creative and that's how WWE spun it though, makes the most sense

This thread is pretty much talking in circles, lol. Also, anyone else remember when Kevin "left" WWE changed is twitter and all? This seems kind of similar

Could be a work. A very WCW 2000/TNA 2011 Russoesque work :lol:lol:lol

But in all seriousness, given Sasha’s track record, this will be swept under the rug in 6 months and she’ll be back.

Same day as she debuted 90 days after that

Wouldn't be a Sasha run if she doesn't vanish for months on end before returning and turning on someone.
