This “time approved absence] plays in WWE favor. She’s gonna have to stop the online venting subliminals should she decide to return.

So should anyone else who wants to leave.

Yeah. And people are REALLY over estimating the value Banks has outside of wrestling. She would be a HUGE asset for AEW or ROH but being "Snoop's cuteish cousin" isn't going to transfer into mainstream opportunities.

She just needs to get back on TV, go through the motions and hope that once her contract runs out AEW has grown into a legit threat (not just an implied one) and competitor by then. I bet she would command high dollar.

If she really loves the business and really loves her career and wants to leave. I think she should just take the Jon Moxley approach and just grind, grit, and finish her contract out. Don’t cause any more backstage issues.

Problem is she has 3-4 years left on her contract plus whatever time is added from her heading home. It's one thing to have to put up with the bullshyt for a few months, but with years left, that's a different story.

You have to wonder when Sasha's popularity is repeatedly downplayed around here but then people like Alexa Bliss who are quite obviously not nearly as popular are propped up. Sasha's had multiple mainstream outlets write and discuss her being absent. If Alexa left tomorrow you wouldn't hear a peep from anyone.

I disagree only because there's so many mediocre actors out here getting work due to the streaming boom. Cute wrestling chick with a following could at least get some roles if she honed her skills with acting classes.

Word. You ever read that excerpt from Charlotte's book she juelz'd about why she needed the belt to get over while Sasha didn't need it cause she was already over :scust:.
Sasha made a huge mistake by forgiving her and continuing to be her best friend. No matter where she goes she'll always be unhappy if she puts friendship over her career. Those same friends you make in the business will be the same ones that look out for themselves in the end. If she goes to AEW it'll seem different at first, but those women will use her as a stepping stone shortly after she arrives.

Yea, I agree it won’t be easy..... but barring she just going to quit altogether. That seems like the best option.

I mean I’m looking at it from if her perspective as one of those “I love this business” type person and would work in a swap meat in front of 10 people.

If she is someone that really don’t love the business and has other agendas and aspirations like say Eva Marie or Summer Rae (like we’ll probably never see them wrestle again) then yea, she should just sit out

Name 5 people in your day to day life that know who Sasha Banks is. Same goes for Alexa Bliss.

Its not 2001 anymore.

Was the point that Sasha Banks is "mainstream" or was the point that she is one of the most popular women in wrestling? In order to become mainstream you have to be popular within your niche product and she is more so than the other women. I've never seen Alexa Bliss get half the attention from media outlets, she is at best a mid level popularity within the niche product that is WWE.

The point is, she's not as big as y'all want her to be and apparently y'all know that. None of em are, which makes this fight for scraps all the more futile.

She's not that famous and she's not going anywhere anytime soon...y'all have got to give it a rest.

No shyt, I said brand not company. WWE treats NXT like a separate entity tho, just look how they treat title reigns. No mention on the main roster.

Just saying if she "Loves wrestling" she'd show support for a brand that helped her get where she is, and that is NXT, that just put on a better show than AEW.
Are you really in your feels because she didn't tweet about Takeover :laff:
