UPDATE: Sasha Banks Returns To WWE

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Let me get this out of the way first; y'all sound like idiots saying Alexa ripped off Sasha's gimmick when y'all been calling Alexa Bliss a one note Mean Girl's clone for years. Unless you're saying that's what Sasha Banks is. And she isn't, which is why it's so dumb in the first place.

Anywhoodles, this was a great re-debut for Banks. Heeling on Nattie was one thing (wasn't Nattie the heel in the short Becky fued) but beating down Lynch who was starting to seem like a quasi heel herself really cemented Banks as something to be taken seriously and should reestablish Lynch as a tough but LIKEABLE babyface.

Some of the stanning y'all do for Banks is way over the top and borderline obsessive/creepy but I will admit she does have "it" and while she isn't the best in promos other characteristics she displays helps her get her gimmick/motivations across better than a scripted WWE promo would anyway.

She showed a level of viciousness I haven't seen a female in the E show in a while and I hope they keep that unique to her. I mean Charlotte was doing it as a face/tweener but for whatever reason dropped it when she turned heel. So let Banks be the one to display that violence. It definitely ups the stakes in the division.

One thing is for sure: WWE's women division(s) desperately needed Sasha back (and Ronda), because Becky went from main eventing WM as the hottest act in the company with Ronda and Charlotte to 3 months of feuding with Lacey Evans to opening match at Summerslam with Nattie who hasn't mattered in about 9 years. A hot act can't stay hot without a good counter point, and Becky hasn't had that since WM and has suffered for it, as has the Raw women's division as a whole because of it.

I'm not a Rousey fan, but from what I saw around Wrestlemania she brings the division up big time. That police angle with Rousey, Lynch, and Flair and Sasha's angle from Monday are 2 of the best angles I've seen them do in a long time.

Sasha Banks got me willing to tune back into Monday Night Raw again.

The women's division wasn't the same without her....it was on life support. Hopefully WWE will come to they're senses and realize how special Sasha is.

They lucky they got her under contract 4 more years.

Actually, it's 2 more years

I’m glad y’all are mentioning how garbage Graves has been. I’ve only been on and off watching Raw for awhile now, but he’s absolutely not what he was during NXT nor when they first brought him up. It doesn’t help that Michael Cole has stunk for years and Renee is trash as well, which is the opposite for her when she was just doing backstage interviews. The current Raw announce team almost feels like 3 2010 Michael Cole’s. Often times I have my headphones on while watching.

Heel Cole was more tolerable than Graves imo...NXT Cole alone >>>>>

Graves reminds me of an obnoxious heel JBL.

Raw's division will benefit greatly with Sasha back. Ronda gutted that division before leaving without putting someone over strong. There is also the injuries and the shakeup left Becky with nothing really significant to work with.

What the hell are you talking about? She put Becky over. She was a damn rookie. Blame the writers for not creating a better story for her. Gutted? Let me ask you a real question. Suspend disbelief, who would match up with Ronda realistic?

The key is over strong. Becky never won by dis-arm-her or manhandle slam. Becky won by a flash pin that was botched by Ronda. Flash pins works on B ppvs, not at Wrestlemania. They never went all the way with it to get the full rub and moment.

Not many, but the issue was that they put all eggs in the mania main event, but never built anyone up to be a ready-made challenger for Becky post mania.

Becky's 1st feud being Lacey would be as Ridiculous as Stone Cold's 1st feud after Wrestlemania 14 being Billy Gunn.

You lost when you decided to generalize the people who criticized Alexa. I can't speak for everyone but I've been saying that she ripped off Sasha's gimmick, and I never said that she was a mean girls clone.

That's what separates the good wrestlers from the GOATS. Every legendary wrestler has had a feud that should've been DOA but they made it work. Becky can't elevate a feud by herself and relies on the other person's heat. Charlotte is so unlikable so it's easy to get the fans on your side, and Ronda & Sasha are two of the most polarizing wrestlers on the roster. No one gave a shyt about Lacey or Nattie so the feuds ended up being complete busts.

Whoa..hold on here..Becky made EVERYONE care about Ronda and Charlotte for months..fans turned on them hard. But Sasha is a mover of storylines...she's always should of.been the centerpiece. They had her jobbing to Iconics while Bliss is kissing Hogan's ass and SHOEHORNING in Charlotte out of the blue when everyone was begging for a Ronda/Becky singles main event.

They had Ronda crushing Ruby in like 30 secs..she got Sonya so amped up on Twitter, it seemed like she was ready to fight her in the parking lot. Lol.

Ronda & Charlotte were already getting booed way before they met up with Becky, are you forgetting the groans Charlotte would receive whenever she would win another match?

Sonya's whole MMA aura was crushed when Ronda wiped her out that one day
