Sasha Banks leaves RAW after taking offense to booking decision EDIT: WWE releases statement

[Larry]

Listen this thread got ridiculous the second @Thavoiceofthevoiceless started picking apart Sasha's outside ventures..

She gets on Mando and its "well she wasn't the star!"

She does runways and its "she's not Giselle though!"

And now it's that they can replace her value with an NXT wrestler..

Sasha has proven her value. She might not become this huge star but she wants to explore her options and she wants to do it on her terms.

The people who downplay her run or her popularity or who are mad she isn't coming back to WWE right away are the miserable people I said pages ago who wish they could tell their boss to fukk off and go on a 6 month vacation..

You sound like jealous women or reddit cacs

It’s not that she can replaced. That terminology is kinda degrading and downplays her contribution and popularity


it’s just… her spot can be.. filled? like everyone else’s. Same way Austin’s spot was filled. Same way Cena’s spot was filled. Same way Dwayne’s spot was filled. Same way Roman’s will be filled when he steps away, and the person after that. We can go on and on and on..


Because, again.. nobody is bigger than the platform itself.

Sasha wasn’t some Bad Bunny/Logan Paul celebrity that crossed over into pro wrestling and brought her star into WWE. She’s a product OF WWE. A pro wrestler that became a star within that world with the platform provided. Again, Sasha Banks doesn’t even exist and we’re not even having this conversation without WWE providing the canvas for her to create. She doesn’t even own the name Sasha Banks for fukks sake


And that’s what I think you’re having a hard time understanding.


Can some NXT bytch step into her spot and rival her star power? Nah… but can the position of most popular female on the roster that moves merch and gets mainstream looks outside of the wrestling world trickle down to the next person in line? Umm.. yeah? We’re literally watching it happen in real time with Bianca

And that’s no slight towards Sasha at all. Sasha is better than shorty in every way to me, and the name Sasha Banks is bigger than Bianca’s in every way still.. but the point is, WWE is still WWE. Sasha Banks isn’t bigger than WWE, same way Lebron James isn’t bigger than the NBA. the show will go on. As it always has.

E Stans mad already

And that’s what I think you’re having a hard time understanding.

Breh.. what? Respectfully.. none of that has anything to do with my argument here.

Can you just plug in whoever and their segments are going to attract the same viewers or their merch will move the same revenue etc.. no, not really..

Bianca is a star but that WM match doesn't happen either if Sasha doesn't go to bat for Bianca, she wanted to put her over. I think Bianca would become a star regardless but the point is there's not many Sasha or Bianca's.. when they come out fans see a superstar and thats important. Most of the women are still piss breaks. Those two actually have people engaged and they get little girls into the product..they open up new demos. All of that has value. Thats my point here..

My point isn't that they are nWo in 1996 or Austin in '98.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

Breh, that’s already happened. Shorty been gone for how long? Ain’t shyt changed for WWE. Audiences haven’t shrank. Ratings haven’t dipped. Business is absolutely the same, it’s even improved in areas


Nobody is bigger than the program. Even Roman, who they’ve exhausted all resources in making, is replaceable

How have ya’ll not learned that by now? If the show went on after Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and Cena left… it’s not stopping for Sasha Banks



What is wrong with you nikkas?

nikka I never said wwe was gonna die or go bankrupt without a fukking sasha banks.. that doesn't mean that I cant point out the obvious value that she brings to the table as a top star in the division, in ring general whose in-ring ability is severely needed on smackdown and 1 of only 2 major black women in wwe without jumping to extremes acting like its a life or death situation if the company doesn't keep her

but I get it your gimmick is reaching for shyt to be edgy and combative about for daps so cook

Fam, you typed up a wall of text of why shorty was irreplaceable and I corrected you


I don’t need daps and some edgy gimmick to do that


I love how whenever ya’ll nonsense is falling apart you try to take personal shots. Be better nikka, I ain’t on that.


Never needed internet daps g

see what the thread here proves again is people aren't interested in being right.. they just want to get their bullsh-t off without being challenged on it.

They are challenged and then they get mad or move goalposts. Why did u wanna get off some BS in the 1st place? happens more with Sasha than anyone else..

Reddit fine.. but to happen here is another eye opener

Its always been weird to me when someone is a fan over a company than the actual wrestler. Thats some advanced mark shyt. I wasnt mad at Cody when he left either place. It was what it was. I continued to watch him. Same with Mox, Nakamura, etc. Some people root so hard for corporate slavery and its really sad

Why can't you be a fan of both? Posters on this site stay acting like multiple things can't be true at the same time. Even with her trying to better her situation, she still walked out on the company twice. Acknowledging that fact doesn't make you a fan of the company over the wrestler.

The wrestling industry whether fair or not has always been a next man/woman up industry especially with screentime already hard to come by as it is and everyone wanting the top spot.

I said "sasha banks isnt a replaceable cog on the wheel" meaning what sasha banks brings to the table with her intangibles as a performer CANNOT be duplicated overnight and it has yet to be.. there is not a female wrestler you can put on smackdown right now sans-becky or bianca who could go there and elevate it from what it is right now other than sasha banks

you took me saying "cog on the wheel" and assumed what you wanted to assume out of it and responded with some bullshyt that I never implied about WWE dying without sasha banks

does that mean smackdown's shytty division without sasha is going to spell the death of wwe? no I never said that, doesnt mean the shyt isnt still trash without her.. she elevates any division shes in regardless of the company, but yes I know WWE will still make record profits even with that shytty division

two things can be right at the same time, so u dont need to put words in my mouth and start needless arguments over some shyt I never said

 

[Larry]

two things can be right at the same time

and there it is.


If that’s the case, say that and we can leave it there.

I was only ever replying to the cog in the wheel comment. Essentially, she is exactly that as is everyone else. It’s not a slight towards her, she’s a star and will be a success wherever she lands.. but that’s just the harsh reality. She’s a tiny piece of a giant puzzle. Her removal won’t make and hasn’t made much of a difference. The record keeps spinning.

If I misunderstood the context of that comment, you can simply say that and we could move right along..


All that gimmick nonsense is pointless. I don’t get on this site to do that with y’all with the insults and shyt. Maybe 10 years ago. nikkas 30 now, that’s goofy behavior and nikkas don’t talk to each other like that in real life so I’m not gonna get online and do it

And now you’re talking to me about the quality of the womens division. I don’t give a fukk about none of that and was never speaking towards any of that. So now I’m officially seeing my way out. Y’all be safe


I should have bow’d out a long time ago but I enjoyed this dialogue. It was fun brehs

 

[MenacingMonk]

If Sasha does go to AEW, I’m sure there’ll be more viewers the first few weeks, but keeping them is a different subject. If she can help bring in over a mil, I think that’s a good sign.

 

[Concerned Citizen]

Boss Banx arriving in the Impact Zone in 3…2…1

I say we take a minute from neck beard in and see what she has to say

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

I just want to see Sasha wrestling again.

 

[Ripp]

I just want to see Sasha wrestling again.

Word. All the other shyt isn't necessary. I'll be interested in seeing how it goes wherever she touches down. I just wanna know what Naomi's stance is though....will she end up screwed because of this? Or will they travel as a unit

Because when you are you get people getting butthurt over an adult choosing a place to work. Im not a WWE stan but you dont see me bashing someone for wanting to go back there.


Other thing she didnt "walk out on the company" shes an independant contractor. She quit just like anyone else from virtually any other job. It does nothing for me to complain about her not being happy where she is. At least in other sports your favorite team is (usually) tied to the city you live in so theres loyalty there. But reactions like she's ungrateful and a bytch is overboard and the problem with company stannery
