Sasha Banks and Bayley have both commented on being left off this year’s WrestleMania event. Responding to a tweet from WWE Hall of Famer Edge, Banks joked how she would be headlining the pre-show. She was interjecting her joke into a twitter exchange between Edge and Roman Reigns.

Sasha Banks & Bayley On WrestleMania

“That’s cute Mr. Wolf and Mr. Dog. But this Panther will be main eventing the pre show. I left my mark at the @WWEPC. Just ask the eagle @itsBayleyWWE. She was there for 5 years so technically that’s her land and she wants you off her yard! #TheMainEventbeforeTheMainEvent”

Bayley also saw Reigns’ initial tweet, which was hyping the now two-day event. Answering Reigns’ question over who would claim one of the night’s, she replied “NOT ME!!! hahahahahahahahahaha Have fun Big dog woof woof”

Sasha Banks would see Bayley’s response and reply to her friend, writing “Oops I mean, we will not be on. Let’s go gather some sheep baaaaahaha”

Both Sasha Banks and Bayley performed to an empty crowd in the WWE PC for last week’s episode of SmackDown Live. They competed against Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss. Banks and Bayley would walk away with the win.

WrestleMania 36 has been relocated from Raymond James Stadium due to coronavirus concerns. It will now take place in multiple locations, including the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Originally set to take place on Sunday, April 5, the show has now been split across April 4 and April 5 and may even be pre-recorded.

Fans who were excited for WrestleMania will unfortunately not be able to attend the show this year because it has been moved to Performance Center and it appears that the former Women’s Champion Sasha Banks understands their disappointment.

The Boss recently made an Instagram post where she addressed the WWE Universe. The former Champion said that it hurts to know that fans who planned to go to the Show Of Shows whole year won’t be able to attend the PPV.

However, she explained that the priority right now is everyone’s health and Sasha Banks claimed that they will do their best to put on a show which is worthy of the fans:

“It breaks my heart to know that fans won’t be able to attend #WrestleMania They aren’t just there to watch the show, they’re a part of it! But priority #1 is everyone’s health. So on April 5th we will do our very best to put on a show worthy of our fans. Its what you deserve.”

Sasha Banks has not been announced for WrestleMania so far but she, alongside her partner Bayley, has been involved in a rivalry with the Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors in recent times.

While not confirmed, it’s believed that the two will be challenging the team of Asuka and Kairi Sane for the titles at the Grandest Stage Of Them All, which has been announced to be a 2 night event this year.

WWE Superstar Sasha Banks has opened up about her four-month hiatus last year. “The Boss” was missing from WWE programming following WrestleMania 35, where she and Bayley lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to The IIconics. 

Speaking with WWE’s The Bump, Banks explained what she did with her time away and why she had to step away when she did. She stressed that she loves what she does as a Superstar, but was burned out.

“I really, really, really love what I do. I took that break knowing that I needed to recharge,” Banks stated. “I was legit so done. My mind was just so gone. During that time [being away], I missed wrestling.”

Sasha Banks Goes To Japan

Sasha Banks spent some time in Japan during her time away. She shared how she had dreamed of wrestling in Japan before WWE signed her.

“I always had a dream to go to Japan to train. That’s where I wanted to go before I got signed to the WWE, but they called me first. I just knew in my heart that I had to go accomplish something.”

She contineud, “I bought a ticket, I DM’ed Meiko Satomura and asked her if I could come train. She said ‘Yes, we’re training next week.’ I still think about that trip to this day. I think that was the best trip I’ve ever taken. It’s also the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I learned so much. I just love wrestling, and I love learning.”

Sasha Banks wrestled last Friday night on SmackDown. She and Bayley lost to Lacey Evans and Naomi. At the time of writing, Banks does not yet have a match at this Sunday’s Elimination Chamber event or WrestleMania 36 in April.

WWE Superstar Sasha Banks will be appearing in the next season of the Disney+ hit show, The Mandalorian. “The Boss” has allegedly filmed scenes for the Star Wars series. The show follows the adventures of a Mandalorian bounty hunter and his charge, The Child—also known as Baby Yoda. News of her appearance was initially reported by the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, with Pro Wrestling Sheet later confirming the casting news.

At the time of writing, there is no further information as to who she might be playing or what kind of role she has. Her casting sees her join former Mixed Martial Arts star-turned-actor Gina Carano on the show. Carano appeared early in the first season, playing Cara Dune—a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary. Dune eventually becomes friends with the titular Mandalorian. 

Sasha Banks’ Injury

Sasha Banks hasn’t seen any in-ring action since she last wrestled on the January 3rd episode of SmackDown. She competed in a triple threat tag team match teaming with her partner, Bayley. They faced off against the team’s of Lacey Evans and Dana Brooke and Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.

Since that time, “The Boss” has opened up about not being on television and why she missed the Royal Rumble. She explained how she suffered an ankle injury at the hands of Lacey Evans.

WWE Superstar Sasha Banks has addressed her injury during an appearance on WWE’s podcast, After The Bell. During her conversation with host Corey Graves, Banks also spoke about her absence from the 30-Woman Royal Rumble matchup. 

“The Boss” explained how she suffered an ankle injury a few weeks ago at the hands of “the evil un-role model” Lacey Evans. She noted how she can barely walk properly at this time and is frustrated as she considers herself to be a person that “always wants to be 125 percent.”

“I’m just at 100 percent. You guys just have to wait,” Banks said. “It’s unacceptable. I’m at 100 percent. I need to be at 120 percent. I’m taking my time so that I can be bigger and better than ever.”

Why Sasha Banks Wasn’t In The Royal Rumble

Turning her attention to the Women’s Royal Rumble match, Sasha Banks confessed that she was never scheduled to be a participant. She explained the reason behind this decision is because she is a leader who wanted to “give girls other opportunities.” 

“I didn’t want to win that match because I didn’t want to choose my best friend nor did I want to choose Becky Lynch because I don’t want to go to RAW,” Banks said. “So I wasn’t going to be in the Royal Rumble regardless, and Bayley asked me to not come out for the match because she wanted to show people that she didn’t need my help. So I respect her.”

Charlotte Flair would end up winning the Women’s Royal Rumble, granting her a championship match at WrestleMania—an opportunity Banks has previously claimed she doesn’t care about.

Current WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley recently joined Booker T for an episode of his Hall of Fame podcast. During their conversation, she revealed what her current dream match would be and opened up about her heel turn. 

Bayley shared how her old dream match used to be her versus Lita. Now, however, that matchup has changed into a tag team affair featuring her and “The Boss” Sasha Banks against Lita and Trish Stratus. She noted how, if she were able to secure this matchup, she could happily retire from in-ring action. 

Having her best friend by her side has helped Bayley throughout her career. She explained to Booker T how WWE’s schedule is so fast-paced she’s glad to have someone like Banks helping her to stay focused.

“All the women are so good that I want to be as good or be better,” Bayley said. “Having Sasha, honestly, is probably my main help. I think she is the greatest and she’s always really focused. Even though she’s younger than me, she’s always the bigger sister or mom to me where she holds me down. You definitely need that person on the road with you to keep you sane, focused, to be your friend or be your ear or shoulder.”

“I Want To Be Bad, I Want To Be Mean”

When the Hall of Famer asked her about her recent character changes, Bayley acknowledged how she had been stuck doing the same gimmick for seven years. For her, she was interested in doing something totally different, especially near the end of her babyface run. She admitted that she wanted to embrace that mean streak but, after finally being given the opportunity, found herself initially confused about how to embody her new persona. 

“I want to be bad, I want to be mean. It’ll be easier, I know exactly what I would do, how I would act, how I would talk.’ Then, I get here and I’m like ‘Uhhh, what the hell am I doing? Now what?’ It’s all a learning process, but it’s fun. In my career, I want to be able to do everything and go through all the different avenues and the humps and waves. I don’t want to just stay on the same road the whole time.” 

She attributed the idea of turning heel to herself and creative, sharing that she had always had an idea saved if the chance ever presented itself for her to commit to a new direction.

This Sunday sees WWE host December’s pay-per-view, TLC. At the time of writing, Bayley is yet to be scheduled a matchup despite being SmackDown Women’s Champion. Both her and “The Boss” are currently feuding with Lacey Evans. 

TLC takes place on December 15th from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Sasha Banks made some interesting comments during an interview with Sam Roberts for Ringside Collectibles. When asked about how important being involved in the main event at WrestleMania was to her, “The Boss” explained how she didn’t care as she’s “only about the money.”

“I’m only about money, I do not care,” she claimed. “I mean, let’s talk about WrestleMania, right? It’s really long. And I show up at what? 8 AM? The main event goes on at what? 11 PM, if that—if we’re lucky! And you know the day is crazy. So I’d rather be first. Actually, just put me on the pre-show and pay me a million-odd dollars so I can go in, do my match, take a shower, get my wine and leave. That’s my deal.”

After a lengthy hiatus away from the company, Banks returned and realigned her self with long-time ally and current WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley. Banks was recently moved to Friday Night SmackDown following this year’s WWE Draft.

She is set to compete at this month’s WWE pay-per-view, Survivor Series. Banks joins Carmella, Dana Brooke and two unannounced partners as part of Team SmackDown. Their opponents on Team RAW have yet to be revealed.

Survivor Series takes place on November 24th from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

Sasha Banks has been officially cleared to return to in-ring action. “The Boss” responded to a tweet from WWE’s Twitter account, writing “HunTAH check finally cleared!” She accompanied her words with emojis of a money bag, cash, and an emoji with dollar signs for eyes.

WWE’s statement confirmed that Banks would be competing on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown in Manchester, England. She’ll be taking on Nikki Cross, who is seeking revenge against Banks for her involvement in her recent match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley.

“The Boss” had been out of action thanks to a back injury. She suffered the injury during her matchup against Becky Lynch during WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in October. Despite having been advertised at previous shows in recent weeks, her match against Cross will see her finally get back into the ring.

This is great news for Sasha Banks and her passionate fanbase. She was recently moved to SmackDown during the WWE Draft and is expected to be a key player on the blue brand in the months ahead.

This week’s episode of SmackDown also features:

• Roman Reigns vs King Corbin
• SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

WWE was advertising Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch for this week’s RAW, but she was pulled from that match and Charlotte filled in for her.

According to PWInsider, Sasha Banks is scheduled to attend tomorrow night’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox. She is also expected to be at this weekend’s live events from Trenton, NJ and Rochester, NY.

This is great news for Sasha Banks and her passionate fanbase. She was drafted to SmackDown last week and is expected to be a key player on the blue brand in the months ahead.

Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will go one-on-one this Monday on RAW. Lynch was the first pick selected in the draft last night by RAW while Banks was drafted to Smackdown. Tonight could be the last time the two face off for awhile considering the end fo the Wild Card rule between RAW and Smackdown.

As with the Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns match which kicked off Smackdown, the match between Lynch and Banks will determine which brand gets the first pick in the second part of the draft.

“This time, their rivalry’s latest chapter determines which brand gets the first pick to begin Night 2 of the WWE Draft. Becky will represent Raw after being selected first overall on Friday’s SmackDown, while ‘The Blueprint’ battles on behalf of the blue brand,” a WWE press release for the match reads.

RAW this Monday comes from the Pepsi Center in Denver. The Viking Raiders challenging Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode for the RAW Tag Team titles has already been booked for the show as well.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks have met in single’s action 12x on WWE programming (not including house shows). They’ve met twice in 2019, with each competitor winning once. Banks defeated Lynch via DQ at Clash of Champions and then Lynch defeated Banks at Hell in a Cell.

Hell in a Cell was actually the first time Lynch has defeated Banks in single’s action dating all the way back to when they were in NXT together. Banks leads the all-time single’s series between the two 7-1 with 4 other matches having been draws or no-contests.

Sasha Banks has been pulled from in-ring action after suffering an injury during her match against Becky Lynch at Hell in a Cell.

Details surrounding her condition are hard to come by, but here’s what we know. The word going around WWE is that Banks is dealing with a back issue, according to PWInsider.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Banks and people in WWE are trying to keep things close to the vest while they await more information on how serious the situation is. Meltzer adds that Banks is telling people she did not suffer a concussion.

• Sasha Banks Says She Lost All Love For Wrestling Earlier This Year

WWE got some bad news coming out of Hell in a Cell as two stars are injured. 

John Pollock of POST Wrestling reports that Sasha Banks and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt suffered injuries at the pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on Sunday night. 

As of this writing, there’s no word yet on injury details, but it was noted that Banks and Wyatt are not medically cleared to compete for Monday’s episode of RAW. 

Also, there is no indication that either injury is serious or no timeline provided for their ring returns. It will be interesting to see whether they appear on the program. 

WWE Deletes Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins Rematch Announcement

Both stars were featured in top matches at the show. Opening the show, Banks lost to RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch in a Hell in a Cell match.

On the flip side, Wyatt faced WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins in the main event in the same match gimmick. 

For Wyatt and Rollins, this contest ended by referee stoppage in controversial fashion. The finish came when Rollins hit Wyatt in the head with a sledgehammer. This program is expected to continue while Banks – Lynch is likely over. 

Becky Lynch is still the WWE RAW Women’s Champion as she went over Sasha Banks. 

Lynch did so as she beat Banks inside of the Hell in a Cell structure at the pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on the WWE Network. 

This was expected by some fans. The reason for that is due to the upcoming draft that will take place over the next week on both RAW and SmackDown Live.

When WWE announced the news and promoted SmackDown Live moving to FOX starting this month on Friday nights, Lynch was featured in the promotional material. 

As a result, it caused speculation that she could be moved to a different brand. Time will tell whether that happens but her keeping the title here could be a major indication of that not happening. 

This was a rematch and second match in the feud that appears to be over. It came after Banks beat Lynch by DQ in their title match at the WWE Clash of Champions pay-per-view event in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Sasha Banks recently took part in an interview for the YouTube channel “Kinda Funny.” During the conversation, Banks confirmed she signed a new deal with WWE upon her return to the company this summer. According to Banks, she also has a great relationship with Vince McMahon and is helping to make WWE’s CEO “cool.”

“Since I came back, (Vince) gave me a really good contract,” Banks said on the show. “So, we have just this great relationship because we just talk money. And he wants me to make him cool so I’m just helping him with his jokes. We text legit every single day. He sends me a private jet, he got me a bus. I’m just so blessed, I’m so lucky, I’m probably the first-ever woman to have her own bus.”

“I’m making millions, did you not know that?” Banks continued. “I am so rich. Look at this, this is Gucci with my dog on it, Vince got it for me.”

“I’m just so blessed. Me and Vince are like best friends now.”

She would continue to talk about the relationship she has with Vince’s grandchildren.

“I mean I have met Shane’s grandkids and they kind of look at me like that ‘oh my god, what a legend, you look beautiful, let’s take a picture,’ like stuff like that.”

The full interview can be viewed in the player below. Her comments about her relationship with Vince come in around the 21:45 mark:

WWE has announced that Sasha Banks will face Nikki Cross in singles action Monday night on Raw. The show will emanate from the Chase Center in San Francisco California. It’s the only match announced for the show thus far. Banks will have Bayley in her corner and Cross will have her partner, Alexa Bliss, in hers.

“With each of their respective partners in their corner, can Cross pick up the biggest singles win of her career or will The Boss make yet another bold statement en route to her Raw Women’s Championship Match against Becky Lynch inside Hell in a Cell on Oct.6?” a WWE press release for the match reads.

Sasha Banks vs Nikki Cross

Monday’s match between Cross and Banks will be the first time the two have met in single’s action. They’ve met twice previously in tag-team action, however. Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated the team of Nikki Cross and Alicia Fox in February to qualify for the women’s tag-team title match at Elimination Chamber. Cross and Banks were on opposing sides of another tag team match on RAW earlier this month as well when Banks and Bayley defeated Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss.

• Bret Hart & Natalya Reflect On WWE’s Return To Calgary

Sasha Banks’ return to WWE during a Raw episode recently was one of the most surprising moments of WWE programming this year and it left the internet buzzing for days.

After her comeback, WWE aired a new episode of WWE Chronicle focusing on the Boss and in the WWE Network documentary; the former Women’s Champion opened up about her hiatus from the company and talked about it in detail.

While discussing the day she made her return to the WWE programming, Sasha said that it didn’t feel real and expressed that the day was very long for her:

“It didn’t feel real, it just felt like the week before it wasn’t finalized and then the call came a couple of days later, with flights and it was back to it just like that. It was such a long day, I had to hide on a bus and sit and wait until the time was right.”

She then recalled how she hadn’t put on her wrestling gear in a long time. The Raw Star was trying to fix a wig on the top of another wig and figuring everything out was crazy.

Sasha Banks also visited the performance center in preparation of her return and during her time at the PC she remembered how Dusty Rhodes supported ‘The Boss’ character.

According to the former champion, people were questioning her and the character but Rhodes said that this is it and they continued working on the gimmick.

Tonight’s Monday Night RAW will see RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch team up with Charlotte Flair against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks. Ahead of this Four Horsewomen reunion, all four Superstars sat down with ESPN.com to discuss their tag match. They also spoke about their future ambitions.

When it comes to tonight’s match at Madison Square Garden, Bayley reflected that “The four of us will always be tied together and having a match with all of us in a place like MSG is special. I came up to the main roster last and this is one of the only times we’ve all been in the ring together on the main roster.”

“It’s a pretty big moment especially in somewhere like MSG, which is so historical,” Lynch added. “It’s a whole different kettle of fish now, and I’m a whole different woman now.

Sasha Banks commented on how “It’s really crazy to know that I’m gonna be in the ring with these girls that I started with and I haven’t been in the ring with them for a very long time.”

“Our stories are so intertwined if you go back to the beginning,” Flair said. “But I will say for Monday, this is the first time that the four of us have been on Raw together — just the four of us in a solo storyline.”

Never Satisfied

When it comes to their future plans, Bayley admitted that, despite everything they have achieved, none of them will ever be content or satisfied. Lynch added to this idea, claiming she would like to main event more shows. 

“Just more main events,” Lynch said. “Just constantly main eventing and generating interest, whether it’s the main event or not. And that’s what we’re doing. Look, that’s all I’ve ever wanted — for women’s wrestling to be the coolest thing on TV, for people to be talking, for people to have opinions, for people to be so invested they can’t miss our matches.

Banks doesn’t want to main event more pay-per-views—she wants to main event every single one. She explained she wanted to main event every major show as well as every TV show and Live Event. “I want it just like as the guys do — I want to have it all. I’m never gonna be satisfied. Even when I get that, I’m gonna want more. That’s just the kind of person that I am.”

Charlotte Flair, however, believes that although it may not take place next year or even in a few years, a Fatal Four Way match between them will eventually main event WrestleMania:

“I hope the future holds the four of us in a Fatal Four Way in the main event of WrestleMania. That’s what I hope the future holds. I’m not saying it’s this year, next year, the next or the next after that. But eventually I truly believe that the Fatal Four Way will be a main event match at WrestleMania.”

Current RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has spoken about her history with Sasha Banks. She also offered advice for NXT Superstars ahead of the show’s move to USA Network later this month.

In an interview with Newsweek, Lynch looked back at her time in NXT with Sasha Banks.

“When we were in NXT, she was seen as the top dog, and I was lucky to even get a look,” Lynch recalled. “And now it’s funny because the tides have changed. I think that it’s a different animal up here on the main roster. Things have changed, match times have changed, and everything is cutthroat, and I took that and ran with it and became ‘The Man’ I am today.”

Lynch commented on how Banks “took her ball and went home” for a few months. She added that Banks believes she can just return to WWE and take Lynch’s spot—a spot the RAW Women’s Champion has no interest in giving up.

When it comes to NXT’s move to USA Network, Lynch offered her advice to the black-and-gold brands Superstars.

“Work hard,” she said. “Work harder than anyone else, and don’t be afraid to fail. You fail, you fail. You can always come back, you can come back from anything. Keep working hard. Take those risks, they are so important.”

NXT debuts on USA Network on September 18th.

A new match has been announced for the upcoming WWE Clash of Champions PPV and as expected, it involves two top talents in the women’s division on RAW. 

During Monday’s episode of RAW, WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch did a promo segment with Sasha Banks that led to Banks issuing a challenge for a title match at this PPV event. 

Lynch quickly accepted and now it’s official.

Sasha Banks recently returned to WWE television, attacking both Natalya and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. 

This week on Monday Night RAW, Banks addressed her hiatus from the company. She also revealed her motivations behind the recent attacks against her former friends after four months away from the spotlight.

According to The Pro Wrestling Torch’s Wade Keller, her impassioned promo had a notable voice behind it: Paul Heyman.

Heyman, who is WWE’s RAW Creative Director, has reportedly been majorly involved in how Sasha Banks will be presented on screen going forward. He was supposedly the individual behind the script for Banks’ explanation this past Monday. 

There was plenty of speculation over Sasha Banks’ future with the company during her time away. Rumors surfaced over her frustrations at losing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. She was allegedly promised a long run with them to help legitimate the belts.

Whether she would return to WWE also became a topic of conversation, even after “The Boss” met with her boss, Vince McMahon, to discuss her issues.

Her recent promo saw her fold these real-life events into the narrative of her return. With Heyman helping to drive this new heel persona, there may be more examples of real issues slipping into Banks’ promos and character going forward.

Sasha Banks made her return to in-ring action on the latest episode of WWE Monday Night RAW in New Orleans, Louisiana.

She beat Natalya in a singles match at the start of the third hour. It was a short contest as it only lasted four minutes. This came after Banks opened the show with a promo explaining her actions towards Natalya. 

This was a continuation of the program that WWE has been doing with Banks, Natalya, and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. 

Sasha Banks Explains Her WWE Absence During RAW Promo

It all started back on the August 12th episode of Monday Night RAW in Toronto, Ontario when Banks made her return to television. In this segment, Banks appeared by interrupting Natalya, who was doing a promo. Banks would proceed to turn heel by attacking Natalya. 

This led to her getting into it with Lynch. Since then Banks has been attacking Natalya on television. 

Although not confirmed, it appears that this feud between Lynch and Banks will lead to a match at the next pay-per-view event with the RAW Women’s Title on the line. 

The Clash of Champions pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, September 15, 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Spectrum Center and will air on the WWE Network.

As expected, former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks kicked off Monday Night RAW with a bang. 

She did so by doing an in-ring promo to explain why she’s been away since WrestleMania 35. This comes after she returned to attack Natalya and Becky Lynch two weeks ago. 

In the promo, Banks talked about how she had been out of sight and minding her own business for months. However, she kept hearing people talk about her.

This is when she confirmed the reports that she threw a fit and was seen crying on the locker room floor at WrestleMania 35. Regarding her taking the ball and going home, Banks stated, “You’re damn right I did.” 

Banks stated that she felt like she was relegated to a tag team title match that she cared nothing about at WrestleMania 35 while seeing Becky Lynch being featured in the main event against Ronda Rousey.

The WWE star continued by bringing up how Lynch got a bigger WrestleMania paycheck as a result. Thus, she returned at the right moment with a plan to attack Natalya. She knew that Lynch would run out to save the day and did just that. 

Her promo was stopped once Natalya ran down to the ring where a brawl broke out at ringside.
