Sasha Banks has not been on WWE television since the build-up to SummerSlam, an event that she ultimately missed. This has left the WWE Universe and sports entertainment fans wondering when ‘The Boss’ will be back in town? Here is why Sasha Banks is ‘struggling’ during her WWE hiatus.
In an update, from PW Insider, if you were you anticipating to see Banks come back this week on tonight’s edition of WWE SmackDown, then expectations should be tempered. The outlet is reporting that Banks is not in Arkansas for tonight’s show. It appears that Banks may not be medically cleared.
“For those who have asked, as of an hour ago, she was not backstage at tonight’s WWE Smackdown taping.”
In other news regarding Sasha Banks, WWE Hall of Famer Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman recently criticized the company for how they pulled Banks off of the WWE SummerSlam card. Waltman would make the following comments on a recent edition of Pro Wrestling 4 Life. Credit to Wrestling Inc for the below.
“I understand the predicament. There’s just an old way of thinking that took over here, and I understand that, but it was the wrong thing to do,” Waltman said. “There’s an old saying, ‘If you’re going to have a replacement, the replacement needs to be of equal or greater value.’ For instance, I was in a really top match on all the house shows vs. Razor after I turned heel, but then they said Scott failed a drug test that was six months old, and all of a sudden, Scott’s suspended. They didn’t announce that Scott wasn’t going to be at the shows, which is kind of like this situation.
Sasha Banks also leaked a photo after cancelling a match. Waltman continued: “When they announced that he wasn’t going to be there, the people booed because they wanted to see him, but then the bagpipes played, and out comes Roddy [Piper], and the place went nuts. And we beat the sh*t out of each other. Anyway, we had great matches. The people were happy, and here’s the key part, though, we had a great match. You can’t do that… they did it, obviously. But I just don’t think they realize how bad it was. I know there’s probably no great choice, but that’s not the one to make.”
