Former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks could be moving to AEW in the near future. Banks has been away from WWE for a few months now. Banks and Naomi had allegedly walked out of Monday Night RAW few months back due to creative differences. There have been various sides to the story already reported, including that the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions confronted then the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon over their issue. Reports also emerged that she could sign with NJPW.
Sasha Banks was reportedly rejected by STARDOM
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, STARDOM had initially rejected Sasha Banks’ deal. This was due to a disagreement over pay between Banks’ side and Rossy Ogawa.
The largest deal we know of was New Japan in the early 90s made a $150,000 per match deal with Hulk Hogan. We haven’t been able to confirm what she will be earning or if it’s more than Jericho, but those close to the situation did confirm it was a huge per-event deal, a number Rossy Ogawa of Stardom, when first approached with it, turned it down thinking it wasn’t cost-effective.
