UPDATE: Sasha Banks Returns To WWE

[RammerJammer]

Is that some sort of kayfabe/carny term? No grown adult is having a literal tantrum over some playfighting belts. Get this CAC out of here.

I doubt that story is true but wrestlers are marks for themselves and take that shyt seriously, why you think Hogan wanted the belt so much in WCW?

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

And that’s the most thing about all this. I’ve also read that the writers were telling Vince that turning the Kofi vs. Seth match into a tag team was a bad idea and he went ahead and did it anyway on some “You not gonna tell me what to do !”

Sasha has every reason to be pissed off and frustrated. This is the same shyt that made Punk walk out.

I mean seriously...look how they treated Dean Ambrose’s exit. Instead of giving a respectable send off and putting him into a respectable program. Vince had him getting squashed for the reminder of his tenure with the company. Didn’t even bother booking him for WM (not even in the Battle Royal), and just to add insult to injury. Have Bobby Lashley make a pass on his wife and then have him get smashed through the table in front of him on some “Good riddance !!” shyt.

Sure they gave him a more respectable send off when the cameras weren’t rolling, but u gotta go online for that.

The petty shyt Vince does just for sticking to your guns is wild...

this whole twitter thread sums up her main roster run
four womens title wins and not one successful defense?

Not sure how anyone could read that and not understand how she would be frustrated as fukk.

That's missing one big moment though.

Everybody saw that and wentyou can build a match off of this. That's one of Sasha's idols.

What did they do

They gave the match to Alexa.
No one gave a fukk about that, so they brought in Lita and added Mickie James.
Then Bliss gets hurt so it ends up becoming Trish/Lita vs James/Alicia Fox

Sasha and Bayley had another match against the Riott Squad that night.

Not only that but the same day that Sasha told Cathy Kelly on WWE’s YouTube page that she would love to face Trish at Evolution, they announced Trish vs Alexa literally hours later. They basically spat in her face and announced a match that no one wanted to see.

I bet it’s true

I’ve been saying since last year that I’m getting an early 2013 CM Punk type vibe from her for a long time. She’s clearly fed up and deep down she probably knows she wants out, and rightly so. That thread also left out the never ending 6-8 month riot squad feud that got no promo time and was just a 2K universe style feud that was an endless string of rematches for no reason. The way she’s been disrespected by them and how they just did dean on his way would make just packing up and leaving one day more than justified. Again, Dean should’ve just stopped showing up once it became clear that they were only gonna have him get squashed every week the last few months he was there. Are they really gonna spend so long fighting a losing battle in court to try adding 2 months of dates to his deal when he’s not even an employee? The only point of that was to spite him for leaving and to hurt his stock as punishment. If more people were willing to leave as abruptly as Austin in 2002, Brock in 2004, or Punk in 2014, they’d probably think twice about how they treat their roster. She deserves far better than how this company has treated her. Nearly five years on the main roster and not a single successful title defense, not to mention basically spending the last 24-26 months basically in purgatory. If WCW we’re still around and Vince treated the roster this way, I’d bet half the roster would’ve quit a long time ago.

With AEW about to launch their mindset is going to have to change quickly. Common to have some people pissed off but the amount of talent that have either expressed (rumored) interest in leaving such as Revival, Usos/Naomi, Mike Bennett, Sasha Banks, and talent that already has their foot out the door such as Gallows/Anderson and Ambrose all within a short amount of time is pretty eye opening.

 

[CM_Burns]

If she’s really quitting because her character isn’t getting enough fake wins, that’s comical. But if she’s burned out, bored, or doesn’t like the WWE environment I get leaving bigger money in the table to try AEW.

 

[Skyjacker]

This Lacey Evans thing is going well, Becky can't be bothered..

Lacey is a bump in the road to Becky. She knows that Sasha is the real prize.

My guy based Rusev needs to get out of there in the worst way, as do all of those other wrestlers. It’s alarming how many people want out who were brought in with plenty of fanfare, only to basically spend show’s sitting in catering or being food for guys nobody cares about. Add Braun to the list too. After being the most over guy on raw, he’s become a victim of the worst booking habits that get reserved for big show and Bray Wyatt over the last two years . Teaming with a ten year old in the piss break match and beefing with the writers of SNL on the pre show back to back years when he isn’t being fed to Brock or Roman

If she’s really quitting because her character isn’t getting enough fake wins, that’s comical. But if she’s burned out, bored, or doesn’t like the WWE environment I get leaving bigger money in the table to try AEW.

When you’re among the best in your division at what you do and get booked as good for far less talented people who get far less crowd support, it wears on you. It’s never about wins or losses.

You mean the "fake wins" that help her make more money and help sell even more merchandise? No one wants to support a loser.

This. Being booked like shyt hurts your stock. It hurts your credibility in the eyes of the audience. In mid 2005, Christian had the top selling merchandise in the whole company. Then when they did the draft lottery, they took his merch off the shop zone, sent him to smackdown, and had him lose in the mid card for months on end when the crowd clearly wanted him as a main event heel on raw. He quit before the calendar turned to 2006, and rightly so. It’s the same sort of shyt that inspired Chris Jericho to quit WCW in 1999 as well.

I just think it's insulting to report it that way. "On the floor?" fukk that guy. I don't even care whether it's true or not. I'm not her biggest fan but I'm a fan of consistency as you all know and I know damn well if this was Bliss or Charlotte he would not be reporting they were on the floor like toddlers.

 

[TobiOT]

Out the 4 "Horsewoman" she's the only one without a W at Wrestlemania

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

I bet it’s true

I agree with what @Rarely-Wrong Liggins said in a post, if I’m not mistaken, just wait it out because seems everyone gets their random push again. Don’t get me wrong tired of the blonde broads being the focal point of the division too, but shouldn’t be so quick to pursue AEW if reports are 100% true. No idea how things will turn out long term for them but not like it’s many wrestling companies out to really get your brand out there. That being said WWE do be on their bullshyt with these half assed pushes, especially for someome as marketable as her.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Did she really unfollow the E and follow AEW? What a dumbass move. Now Cokeboy really gonna job her out until her contract ends.

I mean there’s a reason why Flair spent his late 40s - 50s as a lower mid carder/manager instead of being treated like Taker and Hogan. He lost way too much. The secret is that wins and losses matter

[Playaz Eyez]

Seeing as she only had it for 2 weeks and it didnt play into the story at all, its clear they scrapped the match entirely just to give Becky both belts to make her winning moment seem bigger.

That's the thing, Becky was obviously going to win, but for them to completely shyt on the SD women and give Charlotte an aimless unneeded title win was inexcusable. How many times have they pulled the rug from under one woman just to build Charlotte's resume?? That's basically been Asuka's whole main roster career. She built up an undefeated streak just to lose to Charlotte last year, never got any measure of revenge, then lost to Charlotte again on a SD two weeks before Mania, and it's looking like she won't get any measure of revenge once again

.

If I’m a black woman in WWE, I’m definitely reassessing my options. We know there’s NOTHING Ember Moon can ever do to be women’s champion. No matter how great and exciting she is, how marketable her character is, how much fans got behind her at Evolution & Mania battle royal she’ll never get that chance. Some call her ugly, but she’s equal to Alexa in the face, and many guys love a short thick booty bytch that’s in shape. The problem is that she’s a dark skinned black woman. No matter how much of a ‘wench’ she is. Naomi appears headed to Alicia Fox status as permanent punishment for the crime of driving the wrong way on a street thousands of miles from home, and not being ticketed for it. After a decade of being the perfect employee. I have zero hope for Bianca on the main roster. Her and Montez Ford looks like a modern 2019 power couple. That’s how they look in 2019, not like fukking Miz & Maryse. They’ll never explore that. AEW gonna eat soon

I'm pretty much with you on most of this except Ember and Alexa's looks Alexa has a very cute face, pretty much her only saving grace other than talking (in which her talking is actually overstated, because once you've heard one smarky Alexa promo while she makes aggressive child like faces, you've heard them all).
