She met with Vince McMahon about the issues, but left the building after McMahon refused to move on her plans. Banks&#8217; tag team partner, Naomi, also walked out of the building due to these same issues.<\/p>\n<p>The Monday Night Raw main event was announced as a six pack challenge match with the winner facing Bianca Belair for the Raw Women&#8217;s Championship. In addition to Banks and Naomi, Asuka, Becky Lynch, Nikki A.S.H, and Doudrop were slated to compete in the match. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightful.com\/\">Fightful<\/a> report indicates that Naomi was scheduled to win the match.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the walkout by Banks and Naomi, the main event was changed to a straight singles match between Asuka and Becky Lynch. The winner of that match will face Belair for the Raw Championship at Hell in a Cell.<\/p>\n<p>Hell in a Cell streams live on Peacock on June 5. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins inside Hell in a Cell was made official on this week&#8217;s show. Rhodes is 2-0 against Rollins in recent matches &#8211; one at WrestleMania 38 and the other at WrestleMania Backlash.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/16\/wwe-nominated-for-sports-business-journal-award\/\">WWE nominated for Sports Business Journal Award<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2113042797\"><div id=\"pwtor-1995303836\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The main event for this week&#8217;s episode of Monday Night Raw was reportedly changed due to Sasha Banks and Naomi leaving the arena in Norfolk.
