They walked out just before the show started, which left WWE creative scrambling. Their walkout not only affected the card and storylines that night but also the next pay-per-view (PPV), Hell in a Cell.

Fans are still buzzing about Banks and Naomi, wondering what the future holds for both female talents. Sounds like there’s some good news for Naomi in the near future.

The Twitter handle @NaomiWWENews reveals Naomi will participate in an up-and-coming E! television series with Kevin Hart. Naturally, Naomi retweeted the post, confirming it all.

Will Naomi Ever Return To WWE TV?

It’s great that Naomi is part of a new a television series, she’ll do a fantastic job. However, will she ever return to WWE TV?

That’s a very hard call at this point. The company is being incredible harsh to both ladies.

Both are dealing with an indefinite suspension, as well as all of their merchandise pulled from WWE.com. In addition, the company actively buries both the women on TV, at every chance given.

With that said, it is likelier that Naomi will return to the WWE at some point. Unfortunately, Sasha Banks’s future with the WWE seems uncertain.

In fact, multiple news sources have stated that Sasha Banks has been released by the WWE. However, the company itself has yet to come out to confirm this.

Still, the WWE is currently quite busy dealing with VKM’s recent controversy, so they may get to it at some point. Only time will tell.
