I get going to AEW because they would have thrown a bag at her, but yall goin' on about heading back to the indies is
No other promotion is gonna be handing out the money AEW and WWE are. Marks want people to kill their bodies for less money
big names who can actually wrestle, can make a killing on the indie circuit. plus, impact alone would've paid her well.
and you dont have to work as much as you do in the WWE, so the whole 'killing your body' thing is a myth.
add that all up, and she'd be living better than her fellow divas.
what it comes down to, is some people don't want to grind and would rather have everything laid out for them. you mention AEW, but it wouldn't have even existed if it wasn't for the wrestlers who were caking off their own hustle. granted, most people aren't hustlers tho. but the point is, you didn't have to work in the WWE before AEW came along, if you were actually good at your craft and had star-power.
plus sasha banks is clearly a mark who dreamed about wrestling in the WWE. lol. up there upset that she didn't get a match with bum ass trish stratus and chit.
