I like Sasha but like......What the fukk did she expect was going to happen? Vince would bend the knee? This not the first time she's done some shyt like this so I can't even blame them not giving her a strong/multiple title reigns like they do Charlotte/Becky anymore. She can't be depended on/trusted. She's trying to pull shyt like she's HBK in 97 but these are way different times and anybody on the roster can be replaced as shown time after time after time after time.

Sasha is definitely a star... I have two sisters we all grew up watching wrestling. One of my sisters hasn't watched wrestlingsince Batista was active but she knows who Sasha Banks is.. so dude spewing all that nonsense means nothing. When people that don't watch wrestling know you as a wrestler it means you are bigger than the business... granted she isn't a mega star or a household name.. but she was borderline and she creeped over the threshold and is known

Remember how Cody left AEW and it turned out to be a good divorce for everyone? Cody can do his sports entertainment shyt in WWE and AEW doesn't have a dude coming out killing the crowd with his "face" act that is a complete heel act for that audience.

It's not the same to the details, but in general, this is another divorce that needs to happen. It's clear that Sasha has some star power and enough connections around TV to do something outside of wrestling and excel. She doesn't need to be The Rock, making fifty million a year on movies, to be a success. WWE doesn't need Sasha either as they will only book one black person strong at a time, and that person is Bianca Belair right now. Why have this unhappy marriage? They both need to split.

What Sasha doesn't need is to be attached to the sinking ship that is AEW. If she wants to do Impact shots while getting a TV career going, fine, but she's probably too good for the level of the American pro wrestling scene in 2022.

Zero chance you typed any of that with a straight face

Charlotte and Becky literally threw the belts on the ground like a piece of shyt live on tv. I dont blame Sasha for making everyone hear what she had to say

Did they refuse what they were told to do creatively?

Well I agree on both occasions why she left, those were wild WILD booking decisions. I see her grievances as an artist and performer. But at the end of the day shyt booking falls upon everyone, and either you want to stay on TV to raise your stock and work, or if you good with being off tv and taking a paid leave, have at it I guess.

Realistically wrestlers should get off time every year for their bodies, the luxuries Brock, Roman, Cena etc. have had, but unless you're top dog you gonna lose your spot and so you can't. Sasha probably just gonna focus on acting lessons, or hang with family, hang with Naomi.

She is pulling her creative control card effectively when she does this, and if you subscribe to the Hulkkk Hogan mantra of the best way to do business in wrestling is to protect yourself and your value, then can't blame her.

No offense, but Naomi should know better.

Sasha has Hollywood options, Naomi is not in the same situation. Sasha would understand if Naomi chose to stay
I don't think the majority of people still going on about this (Banks stans, WWE sucks crowd) cares lol. It's the worse spot for Naomi/Trinity career wise but all you hear is Sasha did this and thought that, Sasha's too big for this etc. It's weird but not surprising.

And the people talking all this stuff sill have not walked into their bosses offices, told them what they wanted to do, and left their name tags on the desk and walked out if they didn't get their way because they know what will happen. So why would WWE or any company accept that? Just another case of the internet not being real like Chappelle said.

She doesn’t have creative control…

Charlotte has went into business for herself during promos and has even went as far as getting into a shoot fight on live television. :comeon:
Has she not done what she was told to do by her boss or walked out on the job?

If you did that at your job, what would happen?
