After a month off television, Banks returned at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on January 24, 2016, attacking Charlotte and Becky Lynch after their championship match, showing her intentions to gain the Divas Championship. Prior to a match with Lynch on the February 1 episode of Raw, Banks claimed that she was "on her own", signaling that she had moved on from Team B.A.D., only to be attacked by Naomi and Tamina during the match, turning Banks into a fan favorite in the process. The feud between Banks and Naomi and Tamina would continue throughout February, and would lead to a tag team match at Fastlane on February 21, where Banks allied with Lynch to defeat the two. Banks and Lynch went on to compete in two matches to determine the number one contender for Charlotte's Divas Championship at WrestleMania 32, with the first bout ending in a draw after a double pin occurred, and the second in a no contest after both Banks and Lynch were attacked by Charlotte.

Banks made her return on the August 12 episode of RAW.

Later that night, Banks would attack Natalya in the backstage area and told Natalya: "Go to hell Nattie, and tell your daddy I said hi". On the August 26 edition of RAW, Banks delivered a worked-shoot in which she acknowledged the internet rumors that suggested she threw a tantrum after losing at WrestleMania 35. Banks claimed the real reason she was upset was because she lowered herself to competing for the Tag Team Championship which meant "less than nothing" to her while Becky Lynch was in the main event. Later in the night, Banks defeated Natalya by submission. On the September 2 episode of RAW, Banks would run-interference during the main event which saw Lynch team-up with SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley against the Women's Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross.

On the September 9 edition of RAW from Madison Square Garden, Banks & Bayley would lose to Lynch & Charlotte Flair in a tag team match. On September 15, at Clash of Champions 2019, Banks would challenge Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship. During the match, Banks introduced a steel chair but Lynch would end up being the one to get disqualified. As a title can't change hands on disqualification, Lynch retained. Neither woman was satisfied with the result and they continued to brawl all over the arena. When their fight returned to the ring, Lynch applied a modified Dis-Arm-Her on Banks with Sasha's arm trapped through the chair. The next night on the September 16 edition of RAW, Banks & Bayley defeated Tag Team Champions Bliss & Cross in a non-title match. Bliss was taken to the back mid-match after suffering a kayfabe injury. This left Cross vulnerable to a post-match beatdown until Lynch attempted to make the save. Becky also succumbed to the numbers of Banks & Bayley until Charlotte chased them away. Later that night, Banks issued a challenge to Lynch for another title match at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View. Lynch accepted but raised the stakes: she wanted a Hell in a Cell match. On the September 24 episode of SmackDown, Banks & Bayley won a tag team match over Carmella & Charlotte with Banks submitting Carmella. The night closed with a backstage brawl between Banks & Lynch that Banks got the better of. On the October 4 episode of SmackDown, Bayley & Banks lost another tag team match to Flair & Lynch.

On the November 8 episode of SmackDown, Banks returned to in-ring competition with a singles victory over Nikki Cross. From this night forward, Banks began to use a remix of her entrance theme performed by real-life cousin Snoop Dogg. It was also announced that Banks would be a member of Team SmackDown for Survivor Series. On the November 22 episode of SmackDown, Banks, as team captain, challenged Team RAW and Team NXT to show-up.

On November 24 at Survivor Series 2019, Banks led the team of herself, Cross, Carmella, Dana Brooke & Lacey Evans in a Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team match. Team NXT would win the match, however, Banks had a standout performance, eliminating 4 opponents and being the very last woman eliminated by Ripley.
On the November 29 episode of SmackDown, Banks and Bayley blamed the other women of SmackDown for their respective defeats at Survivor Series. Lacey Evans took exception to this and attacked Banks, turning Evans face in the process. On the December 20 edition of SmackDown, Banks incensed Evans by getting in the face of Evans’ daughter, Summer, who was seated at ringside. On the January 10 2020 episode of SmackDown, a match was scheduled to take place between Banks & Evans, however, Bayley revealed Banks was absent and was in Los Angeles working on a rap album. On the January 17 episode of SmackDown, an angle was written in which Evans had attacked Banks backstage, leaving Bayley to face Evans at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View alone. Banks would disappear from TV for the next 5 weeks, the on-screen reason being a combination of an injury caused by Evans and continued recording of her rap album. In reality, Kaestner-Varnado was filming for the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. 
Banks returned to TV on the February 28 edition of SmackDown, she teamed with Bayley in a losing effort to Naomi & Lacey Evans.

Paige revealed the FOX Network granted her permission to book the SmackDown Women’s Championship match for WrestleMania 36. Paige informed Bayley she would be defending against 5 different women, including Banks, in an Elimination 6-Pack Challenge. Bayley was upset but Banks looked quietly pleased. The match would later become a 5-Pack Challenge after Dana Brooke was pulled due to complications with COVID-19. On April 5, on Night 2 of WrestleMania 36, Bayley successfully defended her SmackDown Women's Championship against Banks, Evans, Naomi & Tamina. During the match, Bayley had the chance to prevent Banks from being eliminated by Evans but chose not to save her friend. Nonetheless, Banks stuck around and ultimately helped Bayley eliminate Evans.
On the April 10 episode of SmackDown, Tamina demanded a title shot from Bayley. Bayley accepted on the condition Tamina first defeat Banks. Banks did not appear pleased that Bayley volunteered her for a match, something Bayley would continue to do in the coming months. The following week on the April 17 episode of SmackDown, Tamina defeated Banks. On the April 24 edition of SmackDown, Banks faced Lacey Evans in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. In a call-back to their feud earlier in the year, Banks taunted Evans with a picture of her daughter Summer's face stuck to a stick which itself was a nod to a gimmick used by Banks in the NXT stable the BFFs. During the match, Bayley attempted to assist Banks by distracting the referee but this backfired allowing Evans to deliver A Women’s Right while holding the stick, knocking Banks out and earning Evans a three-count. Tamina would receive her match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank on May 10, a match which Bayley won with Banks still in her corner.
Due to the rule that allows the Women’s Tag Team Champions to compete across all three brands, Banks & Bayley would begin to appear on RAW weekly. At Backlash 2020 which took place on June 14, Banks & Bayley retained the Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat match against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross and The IIconics. The next night on the June 15 episode of RAW, Banks & Bayley had an in-ring promo celebrating Bayley’s birthday. The IIconics interrupted feeling disrespected Banks & Bayley ignored a challenge The IIconics had made earlier in the night. An exchange of words led to Peyton Royce slapping Banks. An irate Bayley once again accepted a match on Sasha’s behalf: a title defense against The IIconics for next week’s RAW. Before then, Banks & Bayley had a success title defense on the June 17 edition of NXT against the team of Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox. Post-match, Banks & Bayley were chased away by NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai. On the June 22 episode of RAW, Banks & Bayley successfully retained the Tag Team Championship over The IIconics. Post-match, Banks cut a promo in which she admitted jealously towards Bayley. She expressed a desire to hold two titles herself and verbally challenged Asuka for the RAW Women’s Championship. The following week on the June 29 episode of RAW, Banks & Asuka partook in a dual contract signing which also involved WWE Champion Drew McIntyre & McIntyre’s challenger Dolph Ziggler. A mixed tag team match was booked for the main event of the evening. Banks teamed with Ziggler and Asuka was paired with McIntyre. Banks won by pinning Asuka. On July 1, Banks wrestled Io Shirai in the main event of night 1 of NXT’s Great American Bash, Asuka would make a surprise appearance during the match, spitting green-mist in the face of Banks, allowing Shirai to win the match. On the July 3 episode of SmackDown, Banks & Bayley hosted a tribute video to themselves. Bliss & Cross would interrupt and in a case of role reversal, Banks volunteered Bayley (who wasn’t dressed to compete) to wrestle Alexa Bliss, a match that ended in disqualification after interference from Cross. On the July 6 episode of RAW, Banks wrestled Asuka's returning tag team partner, Kairi Sane but the match ended in disqualification after Bayley's interference. The Kabuki Warriors had a tag team title shot that was the main event of the July 13 episode of RAW. It was another successful defense for Banks & Bayley. On July 19, at Extreme Rules 2020, Bayley successfully retained the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Nikki Cross by using Banks' hand ring to strike Cross in the ribs without the referee’s knowledge. Later that night, Banks challenged Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship. Late in the match, Asuka attempted to spit green-mist in the eyes of Banks but Banks ducked and the referee was inadvertently blinded instead. Bayley would strike Asuka with the tag team championship belt, pull the shirt off the referee's back, put it on herself, and make the three-count. Banks & Bayley quickly left the arena in possession of the RAW Women’s Championship belt.
On the July 20 episode of RAW, Banks & Bayley proclaimed that Banks' dubious win the previous night was official. Stephanie McMahon would appear via satellite and inform them that Banks is not the RAW Women's Champion. However, she booked Banks & Asuka in a title match for the next week with a stipulation that the title could change hands on a disqualification or count-out. On the July 27 episode of RAW, Bayley initially accompanied Banks to the ring for the title match but Asuka's tag team partner Kairi Sane chased Bayley to the back. It appeared as though Asuka was about to defeat Banks when backstage footage appeared on the tron of Bayley beating down Sane. Noticing this, Asuka chose to abandon the match and run to the back to help her friend. As a result, Asuka was counted-out and due to the unique stipulations of the match, Banks won her record-setting fifth RAW Women's Championship meaning Banks & Bayley now held all 3 women's titles on the main roster. The beatdown of Sane was a way of writing Sane off TV as, off-camera, she wished to return home to Japan to spend more time with her family. In character, Asuka swore revenge on Banks & Bayley for ending Kairi’s career. On the August 10 episode of RAW, Bayley lost to Asuka in a singles match which was suggested by Banks. As a result, Asuka earned the right to face Banks for the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam. Later that week on the August 14 episode of SmackDown, Asuka won a Tri-Branded #1 Contender's Battle Royal to challenge for Bayley’s SmackDown Women's title also at SummerSlam. Asuka now had all the momentum and tensions appeared to be rising between the Tag Team Champions. On the August 21 episode of SmackDown, long-time sceptic of the Bayley/Sasha friendship, Corey Graves, conducted an in-ring interview in which he tried to stir up trouble between the two. The segment led to Banks & Bayley facing Naomi in consecutive Beat the Clock Challenge matches. Whoever won in a shorter time would face Asuka second at SummerSlam. Banks won but Bayley was defeated by Naomi. At SummerSlam 2020 on August 23, as per the agreement, Bayley wrestled Asuka first and successfully retained the SmackDown Women's Championship due to a distraction caused by Banks when Sasha took a Hip Attack from Asuka from the apron. Later that night, Asuka defeated Banks to reclaim the RAW Women's title. The story was that Bayley side-stepped the Hip Attack and didn't "take the bullet" for Banks as Banks did for her. 
The night after SummerSlam on the August 24 episode of RAW, Banks would unsuccessfully challenge Asuka in a Lumberjack match. Bayley attempted to help Banks but was neutralized by Shayna Baszler. On August 30 at the Payback 2020 Pay-Per-View, Baszler teamed with Nia Jax to defeat Banks & Bayley for the Women's Tag Team Championship. The finish of the match saw Baszler force Sasha's forearm across Bayley's throat causing Bayley to submit. A rematch would take place 5 days later on the September 4 edition of SmackDown with Bayley & Banks losing once again. During the match, Banks injured her knee in kayfabe. As Bayley appeared to be helping her to the back, she suddenly turned-on Banks by kicking her in the head as Banks sat helplessly on the apron. Bayley would utilize a steel chair in her vicious assault, locking Banks' neck in the chair like a vice before stomping on the chair from the second rope. With this, Banks became a face once again. On the September 11 episode of SmackDown, Bayley explained her actions. She stated that she knew Banks was waiting to stab her in the back so she beat Banks to the punch and turned on her first. On the September 18 episode of SmackDown, Banks appeared via satellite from the Performance Center to be interviewed by Michael Cole. Banks, who was in a neck-collar, expressed the emotional pain of Bayley's betrayal until Bayley attacked her from behind with same steel chair she had used two weeks earlier. Bayley attempted to break Banks' neck until officials intervened. On September 27 at Clash of Champions 2020, Bayley defended the SmackDown Women's Championship against Asuka. Bayley would get intentionally disqualified, thus retaining her title. Banks would make her return post-match and assault Bayley with a steel chair of her own. On the October 2 episode of SmackDown, Banks had a stern warning for Bayley and revealed they'll be having a title match next week. On the October 9 episode of SmackDown, Banks faced Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship but Bayley again got herself disqualified. Later that night, tired of Bayley's cowardly tactics, Banks laid down the challenge for a Hell in a Cell match. The next week on the October 16 episode of SmackDown, a contract signing was held. Bayley, however, refused to sign the contract and walked-out on Banks. Banks promised Bayley would sign the contract "one way or another". Two days before the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View, on the October 23 episode of SmackDown, Bayley's in-ring promo was interrupted by Banks who brought the contract down to the ring. Bayley continued to refuse to sign the document and a scuffle ensued. Banks would get on top and apply a modified Bank Statement with Bayley trapped within the steel chair. With no other option, Bayley (still locked in the hold) frantically signed the contract. On October 25, at Hell in a Cell 2020, the former best friends wrestled inside Hell in a Cell, Sasha's third time inside the structure. Banks would win the match, again using the Bank Statement with the assistance of the steel chair to force Bayley to submit to capture her first SmackDown Women's Championship and end Bayley's record-setting reign at 380 days. 12 days later on the November 6 episode of SmackDown, Banks would defend her title in a rematch against Bayley. Bayley was confident heading in as Banks had never successfully defended a singles title on the main roster. However, it was Banks who emerged victorious, submitting Bayley with the Bank Statement to end their feud. Banks posed triumphantly on stage before turning to head to the back only to be hit with a Superkick from the returning Carmella.
==== SmackDown Women's Champion (2020-2021) ====
Carmella would continue to attack Banks from behind for the next couple of weeks. As SmackDown Women's Champion, Banks would face RAW Women's Champion Asuka at Survivor Series 2020 on November 22. Banks would win the match by pinfall. On the November 27 episode of SmackDown, Carmella cut a backstage promo claiming that she called all the shots. She snapped her fingers, expecting a glass of champagne, the hand that delivered it to her was Sasha's and Banks threw the champagne in Carmella's face. The two brawled until they were separated by officials. The next week, on the December 4 episode of SmackDown, Banks and Carmella were seated in different rooms for a "War of Words". Carmella claimed that Banks worked hard for everything she has where as things come easily to Carmella herself and Carmella can achieve more success than Banks with half the effort. On the December 11 episode of SmackDown, a contract signing took place for a match at TLC. Banks entered first and became frustrated that the contract was missing. Carmella appeared on the TitanTron with the contract in hand, claiming things happen on her terms. Carmella sent her sommelier "Tommy" (later renamed Reginald) to deliver the contract to Banks. Banks stamped her signature on the document but didn't want to wait TLC. Banks challenged Carmella to have a title match later that night. Carmella accepted and Adam Pearce made it official. Banks sent a message to Carmella by attacking Reginald. During the SmackDown Women's title match that night, the sommelier would pull Banks out of the ring, saving Carmella from defeat. This incensed Banks which led to her disqualification, under standard pro wrestling rules, a title cannot change on a disqualification so Banks retained the championship. Carmella, however, would get the better of the post-match brawl, breaking a bottle of champagne across Banks' back. On the December 18 episode of SmackDown, Carmella hosted a champagne toast in which she continued to claim how superior she was to Banks. Banks crashed the party but Reginald saved Carmella from harm. Carmella ended the segment on top, striking Banks with another bottle of champagne. At TLC 2020, on December 20, Banks retained the SmackDown Women’s Championship over Carmella. On the December 25 episode of SmackDown, Banks teamed with Bianca Belair to unsuccessfully challenge Charlotte Flair & Asuka for the Women's Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team match which also involved Carmella & Bayley. On the first SmackDown of 2021, Banks again teamed with Belair to face Carmella & Bayley. Due to a distraction from Reginald, Banks was pinned by Carmella. On the January 15 episode of SmackDown, Banks interrupted Carmella's backstage interview and shoved her down. Banks informed Carmella she'd be happy to give her another title shot if Banks gets a one-on-one match with Reginald first. The following week on January 22, Banks defeated Reginald, forcing him to submit to the Bank Statement. On the January 29 SmackDown, Reginald offered Banks a bottle of wine as a gift from Carmella to commiserate her impending loss of the title. Banks began to play mind games with Reginald, flirting with him. On January 31, at the 2021 Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View, Banks defended her championship against Carmella. Reginald was ejected from ringside during the match. With a level playing field, Banks submitted Carmella with the Bank Statement for the victory. 
On the February 5 edition of SmackDown, Royal Rumble match winner Bianca Belair was in the ring to potentially declare who she would be challenging at WrestleMania 37. Reginald, now enamored with Banks, interrupted Belair and claimed that she wouldn't stand a chance against Banks. Banks would later join the segment and stated, while she was impressed with Belair, Banks herself is still the best because she’s the champion. On the February 12 SmackDown, Banks continued to string Reginald along in a backstage segment. Later that night, Banks had an in-ring segment with Belair, in which the two expressed mutual admiration. Banks implored Belair to challenge for her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax interrupted, upset with the fact that everyone is talking about Belair's Rumble win rather than them becoming 2-time tag team champions. On the February 19 SmackDown, Jax & Baszler were guests on Bayley's Ding Dong! Hello interview segment to discuss an upcoming title defense against Banks & Belair. Reginald would interrupt and again verbally praise Banks. Banks would come down to the ring herself and remind Reginald not to speak on her behalf. The segment eventually led to a Six Person Intergender Tag Team Match at the suggestion of Reginald. He paired himself with Banks & Belair to face the tag team champions and Bayley. Reginald won the match by pinning Jax. On February 21, at the Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View, Banks & Belair were unsuccessful in their attempt to win the tag team championship. Reginald had attempted to hand Banks a champagne bottle to use as a weapon but was caught by the referee which distracted Banks long enough to be caught in a Samoan Drop and pinned by Jax. On the February 26 episode of SmackDown, Belair officially made her decision to challenge Banks for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania. The following week, sick of his courting of Banks, Carmella fired Reginald as her sommelier. Later that night, Reginald came down to ringside and almost cost Belair a singles match against Baszler. Belair told Banks to stop toying with Reginald and cut him loose. Banks did so by slapping Reginald in the face. Even later in the night, Reginald knocked on the door of Banks' locker room in an attempt to apologize, only for Banks to slam the door in his face. Jax would then appear claiming to find Reginald "cute". Issues began to become more heated between Banks and Belair on the March 12 episode of SmackDown when both were guests on the Kevin Owens Show. Banks played on Belair's moniker of being the "EST" by claiming to be the B-E-S-T. Banks referred to herself as NBA Legend Michael Jordan and likened Belair to other basketball great LeBron James. Banks and Belair would then lose a tag team match to Natalya & Tamina with Tamina pinning Belair after she was distracted by Banks arguing with Reginald at ringside. Belair was upset with Banks, telling her she was sick of this Reginald problem but Banks chalked Belair's loss down to her being a rookie. On the March 19 edition of SmackDown, Banks successfully defended her SmackDown Women's title against Jax. Belair made it clear pre-match that she would not come down to the ring to save Banks if she got in trouble, Banks claimed she didn’t want Belair’s help. Despite this, Belair did come to ringside and helped Banks retain the championship but it didn't appear to bother Banks at all. Later that night, Banks opted not to be in Belair's corner for a match against Baszler, nor did she make the save when both Belair & Baszler were attacked by Natalya & Tamina. On March 21, at Fastlane, Banks & Belair failed to co-exist in another pursuit of the Tag Team Championship, their bickering led to Banks being rolled-up by Baszler. Post-match, Banks slapped Belair, blaming her for the loss. On the Match 26 episode of SmackDown, Banks interrupted a match between Belair & Natalya by joining commentary. This led to Belair slapping Banks, returning the favor from Fastlane. After Belair defeated Natalya, Banks hit Belair from behind with a backstabber. The following week, Banks again tried to attack Belair from behind but Belair was ready for her this time and Banks backed off, holding the championship above her head. On the April 9 SmackDown, Banks had a brief interview vowing to retain her championship at WrestleMania. On April 10th, on Night 1 of WrestleMania 37, Banks competed against Belair in the main event. Throughout the match, Banks had used Belair's braid against her. This backfired for the finish, with Belair whipping Banks with the braid before hitting the KOD and ending Banks' reign at 167 days. Banks had a short appearance on the next SmackDown, storming out of an interview without saying a word. 
Banks returned on the July 30 edition of SmackDown, saving Bianca Belair from a two on one assault from Carmella & Zelina Vega. Later that night, Banks teamed with Belair to defeat Carmella & Vega. During the post-match celebration, Banks would turn heel by attacking Belair from behind and applying the Bank Statement as the show faded to black. The following Friday on August 6, Banks opened the show explaining her reasons for attacking Belair and her intent to reclaim the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam. Belair accepted the challenge. On the August 13 episode of SmackDown, Banks & Belair were involved in a contract signing. Banks brought Carmella & Vega out to be "witnesses" to said signing of the contract. Belair was ready for the obvious ambush but the numbers proved too much with Banks again looking strong to close the show. However, 24 hours later at a WWE Live Event, Banks was pulled from the show at the last moment, no reason was ever officially given for her absence. At SummerSlam 2021 on August 21, Becky Lynch would make her return from maternity leave and defeat Belair for the title in an impromptu match that lasted 26 seconds. 
Banks would return at the Extreme Rules 2021 Pay-Per-View which took place on September 26. She interrupted the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch & Bianca Belair, attacking both women, resulting in a no contest. Five days later on the 2021 Draft edition of SmackDown, Banks returned to action in the main event: a WrestleMania rematch with Belair. Lynch was on commentary and got involved in the match by grabbing the braid of Belair, allowing Banks to pick up the victory. SmackDown's newest draft pick, RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, laid out both Banks & Belair to close the show. Night 2 of the WWE Draft took place on the October 4 episode of Monday Night RAW. Banks was selected to remain on SmackDown. Banks returned the favor from 3 days ago by attacking Flair & Belair following a main event bout between the two. On the October 8 SmackDown, a contract signing was held between Banks, Belair & Lynch for a SmackDown Women's Championship Triple Threat match to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel. Belair ended the segment on top by driving Lynch through Banks through a table with the KOD. As the brands weren't settled until after Crown Jewel, Banks was able to compete on either show. As such, on the October 11 episode of RAW, Banks was to team with Belair to face the pairing of Lynch & Flair. All four women failed to get along, brawling before the match even began. When some semblance of control was managed to begin the contest, the match was thrown out when all four women began brawling once again. On the October 15 SmackDown, Banks faced and defeated Lynch in a non-title match with Belair costing Lynch the match in the same manner Lynch cost Belair two weeks prior. In the culminating Triple Threat match on October 21, at Crown Jewel, it was Lynch who retained by pinning Banks with assistance of the ropes. At Survivor Series, Banks captained Team SmackDown, however, she was eliminated from the match by count out after her teammates prevented her from returning to the ring. Team Raw ultimately won the match.
====Partnering with Naomi (2022)====
During a match against SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair at a house show on January 2, 2022, Banks suffered a calcaneus injury. Banks returned on the January 28 episode of SmackDown, announcing she would be in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. At the Royal Rumble, Banks entered first, scoring two eliminations before she was eliminated by Queen Zelina. On the February 25 episode of SmackDown, Banks and Naomi revealed they would challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Banks and Naomi would win the championship in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match at WrestleMania 38. On the April 18 episode of Raw, Banks and Naomi made their first defense, retaining against Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. They then feuded with Natalya and Shayna Baszler, leading to a title match between the two teams on the May 13 episode of SmackDown, where Banks and Naomi retained. This turned out to be their final televised WWE appearance, and their title defense against Natalya and Baszler at the May 15 house show proved to be Banks' final WWE match, as on the May 16 episode of Raw, Banks and Naomi walked out due to a creative dispute, despite having been booked in the main event for that night. On that week's SmackDown, it was announced Banks and Naomi had been suspended indefinitely by WWE and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship was vacated.
===New Japan Pro Wrestling/Stardom (2023)===
After weeks of anticipation, Banks made her debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and World Wonder Ring Stardom at Wrestle Kingdom 17 under the new ring name Mercedes Moné. She confronted IWGP Women's Champion KAIRI, and attacked her. This set up a title match between the two at NJPW Battle In The Valley 2023, where Moné defeated KAIRI to win the title. At Stardom All Star Grand Queendom 2023, Moné lost the title to Mayu Iwatani, ending her reign at 64 days.
