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

[richaveli83]

She's in a weird situation. She was in Mando but wasn't a large role so it's not like she's going to be the female Rock, Cena, Batista, etc when it comes to Hollywood. She definitely should have pushed to be the face of the women's division though instead of Becky and Charlotte.

AEW would be the most logical next move but they got too many former WWE stars as it is.

Ronda isn't hot like that..Holly Holm basically killed her. Had her putting towels over her head at airports.

Fans were trying to will Sasha to a Emmy nomination...wtf..never heard no shyt like that except for Susan Lucci.

What fans? wrestling fans? probably lol, also her fight with Amanda did 1.1 million PPV buys, what are you even talking about?

 

[JQ Legend]

Damn she look good af right here....






As a company though I'd say fukk her and release her too. She don't want to be there and it's been that way for 3-4 years now

WWE did her super dirty when they had Charlotte win their feud, barely letting her keep the title for a month at a time her first 3 reigns. Every Sasha reign should have been a long and dominant one. She better than Charlotte in every way and has way more star power but for whatever reason they wanted to go with Charlotte as the face of the division.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is what made her not give a fukk about being there. They dropped the ball big time trying to force Charlotte on the people when Sasha was clearly their biggest star.

Sasha Banks Drawing The Best TV Numbers in Wrestling Since Return

Before we get into this lets make one thing clear, if you’re talking about on the level of a Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena nobody draws like that today for various reasons. The…

Meanwhile Ronda's segments some of the worst watched on the show. Bu bu but Ronda is a household name how can that be? Because people know her from UFC, and they don't give a shyt that she wrestling now because people just don't fukk with wrestling like that... And within the wrestling world she is cringe af as an entertainer so the wrestling fans don't even fukk with her like that.

You all don't seem to know the difference between star power and star potential. The Rock has star power, Sasha Banks has star potential.

Sasha Banks can't even cut a decent promo so any talk of it being a foregone conclusion that she is going to take over Hollywood is just delusional stanning.

I mean let me ask you all something; you ever heard of this guy named Stone Cold Steve Austin? Pretty big player in wrestling about 20 years ago. At his PEAK, which was also WWE's peak, he was their biggest star and ultimately the biggest star in wrestling. He did a number of events, appearances, guest spots and I think even a movie or two. He did not become a huge Hollywood star.

The Rock was his peer. Pretty much just as popular during the same time period and arguably the most charismatic wrestler and best on the mic of ALL TIME. It took the Rock a few years before he got his footing in Hollywood.

Stone Cold and the Rock were all time greats and in their prime when WWE was embedded in popular culture and one never made the transition to Hollywood and the other took awhile to catch on. Sasha Banks is a great women's wrestler but so are Charlotte Flair and Bayley and they can both cut better promos than Banks even though Banks has more charisma than both combined. Still, that's not enough to be any more than a bit player in Hollywood. A lot of her connections came from being a top WWE star. Will those relationships hold if she parts ways?

She's been in the Mandalorian and has done a lot of PR and appearances while in WWE. The Miz has been in a movie and does tons of PR as well. What has she done besides the Mandalorian? Is there anything else in the pipeline? She has potential to be something in Hollywood but it's not a foregone conclusion. People with more on their minds than "would drink Sasha's bath water" are ultimately going to be making those decisions. We'll see what happens one way or another.

Also I don't know if AEW is a good idea for her. If she really wants to be a major crossover star she should just focus on strengthening her existing connections and do more networking with guys like Rock, Cena and Batista who have made the transition already. I don't see AEW handling her in a way that will produce the type of profile and image she is looking to attain.

Except she still wants to wrestle, you are right, acting is just a side project for her right now, and is just potential. But more potential than 99 percent of active wrestlers have right now so... You could load up her IG story on any random day earlier this year, it's a buncha shyt about the love of wrestling. She clearly won't leave that behind, she just fed up with how E operates, we seen it a million times before. If she ain't gonna be in the E and wanna continue to promote herself and make connections on the side and have the second best exposure for her brand, you gotta go with AEW.

She needs to focus on Hollywood. The moment she steps into AEW she'll no longer be that potential star since no one watches or cares about the dub

She's not taking over Hollywood..she just isn't going anywhere. That's all. Bray Wyatt and Braun Stroman? They're basically dead today..she won't have those problems..Britt Baker is begging her to join...lol

The Rock has given them credit for certain sell outs. Austin hypes them up. They matter enough..Hollywood and crossing over is what matters. Liv Morgan is already making movies over Charlotte and Bianca Bel air. She ain't lost focus on what counts either. Alexa Bliss is begging for roles on twitter...lol

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

She's not 'just a women's wrestler' that's pure hatred.. she was the most over woman on the roster with the most crossover potential along with maybe Bianca at some point.

Her segments routinely outdrew the men's. That's not hyperbole.. the numbers are there. All that said... who said she wants to do acting full time and leave wrestling?

Not really sure AEW would be a great place with how they are with the women but she probably will want to wrestle somewhere.

Do i believe she'd move the needle for AEW? Not really sure because they have fallen in love with midgets who don't draw.
