Mercedes Varnado is no longer Sasha Banks on social media.

On September 28, many fans noticed that Varnado changed her Twitter handle from Banks to her real name. Banks is still included in her Twitter bio.

Banks and Naomi walked out of the May 16 episode of WWE RAW, reportedly due to creative frustrations. They were subsequently stripped of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and suspended indefinitely. Since then, conflicting reports have muddied the waters regarding their status with the company.

Since their walkout, Varnado and Naomi have remain linked; they have appeared at red carpet events and Fashion Week together.

Naomi (Trinity Fatu) hasn’t changed her social media accounts yet, but she recently just did an ad for Thor: Love and Thunder.

You all know I bring the Thunder. Which is why I loved watching Jane become the Mighty Thor in @Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder. Get it now on Blu-ray & Digital, with exclusive bonus extras and deleted scenes. #AD @thorofficial pic.twitter.com/AJj4INPC7g
