UPDATE: Sasha Banks Returns To WWE

[richaveli83]

Sasha should have been in the main event of Wrestlemania.

I wouldn't be surprised if Vince hates Sasha for no other reason than she's married to the seamster.

Just imagine, Cokeboy lives to see half his current roster working for the competition. He sees them becoming the stars they should`ve been in the E, but didn`t fit his idiotic criteria. While all he has left is a Women`s division of blonde's, part timers, and Reigns. Stocks at an all time low. He gets a call from Shane saying the WWE has bankrupt, and they`re officially out of business. Cokeboy cries knowing he failed his father, and there`s no one to blame but himself. He breaks the news to Kevin Dunn, his 50 writers, Pat Paterson etc.

Cokeboy takes a private jet from WWE headquarters to his mansion. He turns on the TV, and sees HHH has also joined the competition. HHH breaks kayfabe and begins to shoot. He announces his marriage to Stephanie was a 25 year work, and that he`s suing her ass for child support money



Cokeboy admires HHH`s sick devotion. But wallows into a deep depression not long after.

I remember when Wendy's show first came on and my mom really didn't know what to think about it at first...now it's her favorite morning show. Just a random thought.

I can see some of the other women looking at that post and thinking, I’ve been here longer than you and haven't got half the opportunities you have and you’re still complaining.

First Iron woman match
First woman HIAC
Main evented said HIAC ppv
First womans falls count anywhere match
Main evented Raw with said match
First womans MITB
First woman Elimination Chamber
4 time womens champ
first woman tag champ

All of this and you complain because you’re not the focus, i can see the ones being booked at her level (mainly Bliss) saying she’s ungrateful to management.

Here are my thoughts on this

-I dont think Sasha is so much of a mark to cancel a national TV appearance and fukk up her money because she's unhappy with losing the tag titles in the storyline. I think this is probably either a case of either there was a legit issue that came up that didnt allow her to do the show and beards just jumped on it and linked the two so they can do another story about her "bad attitude"

or

It was more of a scenario like

Sasha: So we're feuding with the IIconics now?

WWE: No were using them to bring up a new team.

Sasha: So what's our next program then?

WWE: Creative has nothing for you right now.

Sasha: ...

WWE: Hey anyway btw you're doing Wendy Wayans today

Sasha: Wendy WILLIAMS? I have nothing to promote, what am I supposed to talk about if me and Bayley have nothing-

WWE: Figure it out. And dont mention Bayley. Vince says she's a loser.

Sasha: ...

WWE: Ooh gotta go, here comes Alexa!

When you put it that way....

I would feel a type of way too. On top of seeing a whole bunch of white women that don’t have half the skill as her get put in positions to win.

I understand why she feels a type of way about Alexa Bliss. Seeing a pretty face blonde white girl acheive more then her in less time can mentally fukk with ya. Especially when Sasha feels that Alexa doesn’t have a real passion for the business and is only in it tor the money.

Okay I agree with everything with what you said except it’s about the money. That’s the most important thing in the sport that is real. Sasha should be focused on that check 24/7 . None of the women except Ronda crack a million. With her merchandise sales she maybe tops out at 500K not bad but compared to the other women who do total divas she is way behind. Her mind should always be on securing the bag. If AEW offered her a downside base of 500k she should take it and with Cody and Kenny there she would be the face of women’s wrestling for them. Cody would have with a YouTube channel, merchandise in hot topics and endorsements galore while working less than half the E schedule.

Huge fan of Sasha but no. She had no push whatsoever and to take away what Rebecca and Charlotte did with their opportunity is not good. If Sasha didn’t waste time in a tag team or fighting the Riot Squad and then Nia . In the superstar shake up I hope she goes to Smackdown and is split from Bayley and Bliss.
Road Dogg is a much better writer and bring her right back up.
Look at the potential matches on SD.
Sasha vs Asuka
Sasha vs Sonya
Sasha vs Lacey
Sasha vs Charlotte
Sasha vs Nikki Cross
Vs Zelina Vega
That’s what she needs fresh faces and new feuds with high profile competition.

Ima tread the fine line here... if there's anything to this whatsoever and not just that Sasha had a genuine issue which forced her to cancel (she doesn't seem like the sort to bail on a booking) then I can understand it if she's pissed off with her current situation, but honestly I doubt it at this point.

The way her, Becky, Charlotte and Bayley talk about the 'Evolution' is always very much in a "we did this for everyone and everyone did it for us" thing... they know that means they have to take their turns on the carousel at the top... and they all know that a healthy women's division can't just look like the four of them endlessly making up and breaking up.

WWE *has* entirely failed to recapture her NXT lightning though and it's one of their biggest dropped balls recently... it almost seemed like nobody had watched her and Bayley in NXT. I'm lowkey hoping that Bayley's loss to Alexa might be the start of something though. Sasha's best proven role is as a dominant bullying heel to Bayley's babyface. What they really need to do is give Bayley a 6 month crisis of confidence/losing streak and have Sasha turn on her during it on some "I've been carrying you since NXT and I'm sick of it" shyt then just straight up bully her for 6 months... maybe even take on Nia and Tamina as a goon squad (call it the fukkin' New Women's Order )... Sasha wins one of the titles at Survivor Series and goes on a crushing-the-buildings run, Bayley re-finds herself and fights her way through Sasha's squad to a match at Wrestlemania.... hell, find an Izzy replacement and just re-run the whole shtick. It's still the best pure sports-entertainment work WWE have done in years.

I have little faith that they'll actually do this I'm guessing there's a strong pull to have a Horsewomen v Horsewomen face off and that'll mean keeping Bayley and Sasha aligned which is the one place neither of them needs to be.


tl;dr Don't see it at the moment, but if they don't keep feeding her...

Keep Filth like Nia and Tamina away from her.
Nikki Cross and Asuka are better partners.

 

[julesocean]

If you ain't Becky, you getting pushed to the side and in a tag team. That backstage heel turn on "The Man" looming large... She ain't that bad in the ring though.

Becky/Charlotte the new Nash/Hall Triple H/HBK.

Hot take off speculation, of course.

 

[Reality Check]

She knows who to call if she gets out of her contract

But common sense says they werent 1/4 as over as she was in 2015 and 2016..so she laugh off of the complaints of lesser performers. Shes a real star...the top 20 females in history only can wish to have the kind of pop she got at HIAC and Royal Rumble in 2016.

Shes happy for certain names and for progress but shes said the truth before deleting that shyt the next hour too. She knows her worth and how she's a star who has basically the division together piece by piece for 3 years with half the opportunities of others.
