WWE Evolution 2025 Outcomes Unveiled; Charlotte Flair Shares Relevant Statement Following Pay-Per-View Event
In the world of professional wrestling, two names have stood out for their groundbreaking achievements and unwavering determination - Naomi and Sasha Banks. Both have left indelible marks on WWE, breaking barriers and making history as influential figures in the women's division.
### Naomi's Career Journey and Achievements
Naomi, with her distinctive legacy, has been a trailblazer in WWE. She made history by becoming the first Black woman to win the Money in the Bank ladder match, the first Black woman to win a title at WrestleMania, and the first to hold the SmackDown Women's Championship. Alongside Sasha Banks, Naomi was one half of the first Black women to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.
Outside WWE, Naomi also shattered barriers. She became the first Black woman to hold a title in both WWE and TNA, including winning the updated Knockouts Championship in TNA. After a period away from WWE, Naomi returned powerfully in 2024 and clinched the Women’s Tag Team Championship with Bianca Belair during her second reign.
Most recently, in July 2025 at WWE Evolution 2, Naomi made headlines by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to become the new Women's World Champion, reaffirming her status as one of the most powerful and historic women in wrestling today.
### Sasha Banks' Career Journey and Achievements
Sasha Banks, known for her in-ring talent and charisma, has been a top star in WWE’s women's division. She won the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Bayley in 2019, participated in historic events such as the first all-women's pay-per-view, Evolution, and competed in high-profile matches, including a challenging bout against Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship.
However, Sasha Banks faced a hiatus due to injury and creative differences. Both she and Naomi departed WWE in May 2022 reportedly due to creative indifference. Post-departure, Sasha pursued endeavours outside WWE while Naomi eventually returned to the company in 2024.
### Departure and Return
In May 2022, Naomi and Sasha Banks left WWE amid reported creative frustrations. Naomi made a celebrated return to WWE in 2024 and quickly reestablished herself as a top contender, highlighted by her 2025 Evolution 2 Women’s World Championship victory. As of mid-2025, Sasha Banks remains away from WWE while working outside the company, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her comeback.
Their departure led to significant changes within WWE. Their merchandise was pulled from WWE Shop, and the Women's Tag Titles were vacated. Days later, both Naomi and Sasha were suspended indefinitely after leaving their tag belts on John Laurinaitis' desk during a live taping of Monday Night Raw.
In the end, Naomi and Sasha Banks' careers in WWE have been marked by groundbreaking achievements, departures, and returns. Naomi's recent return and championship win at Evolution 2 in 2025 underscores her enduring legacy, while Sasha Banks’ departure has left fans hoping for a future return.
