WWE stars Sasha Banks and Naomi model at New York Fashion week after hiring personal trainer to improve flexibility
ABSENT WWE stars Sasha Banks and Naomi have swapped the ring for the catwalk as they made an appearance at New York Fashion Week.
The wrestling duo, real names Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado and Trinity Fatu, both walked out of the wrestling company on the May 16 edition of RAW after a disagreement with the show’s creative plans.
As a result they both relinquished their Women’s Tag Team titles saying they didn’t feel respected.
Banks and Naomi were also edited out WWE social media content.
However, the pair have kept themselves busy during their time away by recently appearing at the premiere of Marvel’s She-Hulk and the C2E2 convention.
Now they have ventured onto the catwalk during the famous New York Fashion Week with both walking the runway during the event.

Banks, 30, wore a silver and black ensemble while Naomi, 34, wore a white and black one-piece along with a gold jacket and were only too happy to pose for a snap.
Personal trainer Wade Bryant has also shared a video of the duo working with him, with the footage showing Banks laid on the ground performing the splits while Naomi was pulling off the manoeuvre while standing.
He captioned it with: “When pro wrestlers come to you for on going training… this was definitely a vibe @sashabankswwe @trinity_fatu. Mercedes finally got a split thank god.”
WWE have reportedly been in talks with Banks and Naomi to try and smooth things over since Triple H gained more power following Vince McMahon’s retirement.

Discussing the possibility of Banks returning, The Game told Ariel Helwani of BT Sport: “Time will tell. Communication breakdowns are terrible, and there is a communication breakdown there for whatever reason.
“Starting back up that communication is not a difficult process, but it can be a process … But she’s [an] unbelievably talented young woman that can do just about anything she wants.
“It just comes down to what does she want to do now with her life, her career, whatever that is. Like, the passion clearly for what we do, there’s a passion for other things as well.
“So it comes down to what does she want to do. Because it’s gotta be right for her, gotta be right for everybody.
“She is, I think as you’ve seen over the course of her career …. just an unbelievable performer that I believe in with everything that I have. [She] is one of the biggest stars in our business.”
