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

[David_TheMan]

Some of yall really have to understand wrestling is a suoer niche form of entertainment now.

There are no crossover stars in wrestling at all now.

My dad, mom, and grandmom knew who shaen micheals, stine cold, the rock, macho man, hulk hogan, and undertaker were.

No one but wrestling fans know who sasha banks is. Period.

AEW has to do whatever it takes to get Sasha. Their womens division needs her star power. If money is an issue, get rid of Jeff Hardy's contract and some of the other dead weight. If Sasha still has an issue with Sammy Guevara, get rid of him. If Tay Conti has a problem with it, get of her too. Sasha is a talent you go all out for.

Higher, Moxley is on 6 mill, Omega, Jericho, Punk on 3 mill. In the E Sasha make under a mill. She can easily get 3 as the highest profile female to join and be in AEW.

Not sure where you getting those #s from but its reported that Punk is at 5 mil a year and he's the highest paid along with 2 others.




As for Sasha coming at 3 mil........Absolutely the fukk not. There's NO way any female on the roster is getting close to that. If he thought the MJF situation was bad, doing that would completely destroy their women's locker room.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

With how reckless Banks was in the WWE, Banks in AEW with no filter is a death wish waiting to happen.

Plus, she's eating off of Hollywood. If anything she's going to go all in on the acting steez and say fukk wrestling for good

I don't think so. Sasha is established star, absolutely the biggest female star in the company if she joined. That's gonna bring more eyeballs than anything Jade is doing rn (I say this as a Jade stan). So that's real value to the company in terms of buys, ratings, exposure, everything. Potential movie crossover promotions.

I am sure alot of those woman look upto Sasha Banks, and would have no problem with a veteran superstar the ilk of her being the highest paid.

But regardless she would make at least 1 mill, which is a raise from her E pay.

1 mil sure, 3 mil absolutely fukking not. Idgaf how much I look up to someone, They come in and are making 3-5x what you make and it's gonna be a problem.

They literally just got the two biggest wrestling names they could get aside from Cena in Punk and Bryan and not much has changed. Sasha Banks isn't coming in and moving any needles. She's sure a good get if available but they already have issues with booking everyone they have on their shows.

 

[Reality Check]

This. I think people are really overestimating her ability to move the needle. Think she's great in the ring and would obviously be a boon to AEW's women's division, but all this talk about what she has going outside the ring makes her appear like she's the second coming of The Rock when in fact she's only had a couple of episodes of "The Mandalorian" where she maybe has a few lines of dialogue along with appearing on random youtube channels for Hot Ones and the Kevin Hart one. That's not the kind of credits that agents are breaking down her door to talk with her about.

I'm looking at the AEW females division, and I'm seeing Sasha Banks being the highest rated females segments, the most merch sold of any female. They are never going to get a chance at having a big established star from the E like this again when it comes to females. She comes with a whole brand of brehette stans and acting crossover appeal. AEW desperately need this, and I would back the brinks up. Sure it might not help boost them, but it would surely save them from tanking faster. I see your point though.

Paying one person more than the rest of the division makes combined is a sure fire way to kill you’re already fukked division…

Jon Favreau wasn't a wrestling fan. stooges love to hear each other say dumb sh-t

Whay does that have to do with the point i made?

She is a super niche entertainer, she isnt crossover famous.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

22 million people

 

[Killer Instinct]

If she's released, I don't see her going to AEW or anywhere to wrestle. She's clearly burnt out and looking to get into other ventures as far as entertainment goes. She's been looking for a reason to walk away from wrestling for awhile now and WWE made it easy. She hasn't had the glow she had years ago for awhile now. She'll likely wrestle again in a few years if an option presents itself, but she's way interested in being Mercedes Vernado than Sasha Banks now, and I don't blame her.

 

[KEEPITTRILLA]

yeah if im AEW I'll give her NFL WR1 money fukk it she's hella needed. who cares what the rest think, prove you worth it then and you'll get paid next go around

 

[Peter Parker]

22 million people

yeah man 22 million people tuned into that just to see her, like all those people who watched the draft to see Titus O'Neal right? That was a non-speaking role too lmao, does she even speak in that Star Wars shyt? Somebody that can't act in today's porn level soap opera WWE is the hottest young star in Hollywood rn?

WWE placed her there, they have the relationship not her lol
