Sasha Banks reportedly tried to quit WWE over WrestleMania 35 Weekend, according to one higher-up source to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

It was noted that Banks felt blindsided when she found out at the last minute that she and Bayley were dropping the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 35. That Fatal 4 Way saw The IIconics capture the titles by defeating Banks and Bayley, Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka, and Natalya and WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix.

Banks was reportedly under the impression that WWE would be giving them a chance to have a strong run with the titles, to bring credibility to the new belts and to establish them as serious titles. The decision was then made to go with The IIconics as champion, a team that some say will make the titles feel like gimmick comedy belts.

Regarding her WWE status, Banks has been given a few weeks to think things over before making a decision on a choice that WWE officials believe may have been made as a rash decision. Another source noted to The Observer that Banks has been given time to figure out if she wants to leave the company or stay, but that source couldn't confirm the reason why, and said Banks probably would not have known about the WrestleMania 35 finish until late, and did believe that Banks and Bayley were going to be given a chance to make the titles mean something. It was also noted that it was logical for Banks and Bayley to assume they would have a run of defending the titles on WWE NXT, RAW and SmackDown, just because that storyline was started in the first place.



Another source just said Banks was clearly unhappy, which has been speculated on at various points over the past few years of Banks' WWE career.

I don't give a fukk about 90% of the women's matches and only stan Bianca Belair but even I can see that they've done Sasha dirty.

When you factor in character, mic, and ring work she's a top 3 female talent in the company. She's probably the best in ring heel too but they never let her cook on the main roster.

Sure they'll throw her a morsel here or there, but at the end of the day.... zero title defenses, WOAT neverending booking of the bayley feud, and now jobbing to the Iconics.
:mjlol:

She should bounce.

I wouldn't be happy either if I knew I was dropping my title to the IIconics. It wasn't a family emergency with the Wendy Williams show. The show said they won't be booking her anymore.
That’s stupid. She wasn’t upset about dropping the fake title to the Iconics, don’t blame them . She was upset after being told they would be a long run to build the titles up. They were told they would defend it in NXT and on Smackdown. This means she and Bayley had to be ready for at least 3 TV tapings per week and work multiple styles in house shows depending on where they were scheduled. Her and Bayley rearranged their lives preparing for this and then right before mania they are told you are dropping the belts meaning once again they were put in a position to change again with no warning. That would upset anyone being told one thing and then out the blue something else. So don’t single out the iconics, single out Vince who made the decisions. Notice Road Dogg quit his position because Vince would change the script at the last minute. He probably had a long term plan for Bayley and Banks worked out that had to change. When Sasha went home, Vince punished Bayley the very next night by having her buried by Alexa. So not only she was upset but her friend gets caught up in the drama.

They didn’t job to them, Beth and Natalya and Nia can say the same thing. She should do a Dean Ambrose go home for at least 6 months, plan out a strategy to leave if AEW takes off or if impact gets going again before leaving.
Some poster said she could be a model or actress, model no but an actress yes. She is more marketable as an actress.

keepin it a tril, her character sucks. It was cool 4 yrs ago, but now it's played out. She's been wearing the same outfits, the same gold jewelry, the same hair, etc.

She's not growing as a character.....and it's likely NOT her fault.

But still it is what it is.

Alexa Bliss getting pushed the way she did for so long really threw alot of ppl off. Becky even became a 3rd tier womens wrestler for a min on SD. Fortunately she recovered, but Sasha has basically been relegated to 3rd tier status rt now and being saddled with Bailey.

She needs a repackaging.

Technically, she write a book, do appearances, and open up a restaurant in downtown Boston and never work a legit job ever again. And shes just a kid...

No, no, no..I'm not going for this. Her character is heel regulated but is she getting that endless Charlotte push? Or the hype for a return to the ring like little unskilled Alexa? Shes a prime example of how twisted and fukked up the WWE system is.

Braun should be feeling the same way..guy got that over but is a joke right now. Talking big but not winning titles..lol

breh, her character sucks. Charlotte is pretty much herself, Becky is basically herself, Ronda is herself.....Sasha is playing a caricature.

Regardless of hee/face, she needs repackaging

What character? Chase her tail with Bayley for 15 fukking months? What's the matter with you? What's wrong with you? That's a fukking burial. Being very good but barely losing. They FINALLY GAVE her some hype for the Rumble match against Ronda but that was it. Lol. That's absurd.

They probably freeze her contract like they did to :bryan: and Neville, if she takes too long off.
