Sasha Banks watches on during the Asuka vs Bayley clash (WWE)
Sasha Banks has been in the news after she and Naomi walked out of last week’s episode of Raw. While many reports and rumors have surfaced over the last 7 days, there is one latest report that seems quite relevant.
Sasha Banks is one of the biggest Superstars in WWE. She has achieved a lot of success in her career in the Stamford-based company. The 30-year-old is a former NXT Women’s Champion and a SmackDown Women’s Champion on one occasion each. She is also a 5-time Raw Women’s Champion. The Boss is also a three-time Women’s Tag Team Champion. So her accolades are quite exemplary.
Last year at WrestleMania 37, Banks and Bianca Belair had a spectacular main event match for the former’s SmackDown Women’s Championship. The EST of WWE won the match but she was equally praised for her performance as Banks was.
Fans expected that this year at WrestleMania, Banks will challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. This was until Ronda Rousey returned at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view and won the Women’s Royal Rumble Match to challenge the Queen for the title at the Show of Shows.
Banks was pushed into the tag team scenario almost as a form of compensation. She teamed with Naomi and won the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 38. A lot of fans were disappointed not to see Banks feature in the world title scene after delivering a sensational performance last year.
The former Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi were suspended indefinitely by WWE after walking out of last week’s episode of Raw.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com spoke about what possibly led to Sasha walking out
“Sasha has always had issues, she was mad that Ronda got the WrestleMania spot…it was planned for Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair which was planned for months, I wrote about it. She got moved down and they gave her the tag belts as kinda like a concession because she got moved down. Okay, if you’re looking at it from only Sasha’s [side], they lied to me, right?“
” They didn’t know Ronda was going to agree to come back so soon after her pregnancy, but Ronda wanted to prove it because her mom did it and they also really wanted Ronda at WrestleMania because Ronda is the bigger star. But to not understand that they picked Ronda ahead of you for WrestleMania and get mad about it…yes did they tell you, yes. Does that make you a good team player no? If you don’t understand that Ronda is a much bigger star than you…. for that show [WrestleMania] there’s not a doubt Ronda is a much bigger star than Sasha Banks in that spot.”
