‘The Boss’ Sasha Banks was set to face off against Bianca Belair at WWE SummerSlam for the Smackdown Women’s Championship. However, she never showed up and instead, Becky Lynch came out and beat Bianca Belair for the title in under 26 seconds. Sahsa Banks finally returned at WWE Extreme Rules and since then has been involved in the main event scene.

She became one half of the WWE Women’s Tag team champions alongside Naomi. However, both of them walked out of Monday Night RAW this week due to creative differences.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Sasha Banks’ situation and said that Sasha Banks was already upset Ronda Rousey took her spot at WrestleMania 38.

Sasha has always had issues, you know she was mad that Ronda got the WrestleMania spot, which you know was planned for Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair which was planned for months, I wrote about it. She got moved down and they gave her the tag belts as kinda like a concession because she got moved down.”
