Sasha Banks defended her Smackdown Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair on Night One of WrestleMania 37, in its main event. It was a historic match as the two competitors gave it their all including the kitchen sink to win the match. Ultimately, it was Bianca Belair who emerged victorious in the title match and became the new Smackdown Women’s Champion in the process. The two also had a genuine moment where they shed tears in the ring. Sasha Banks also leaked a photo after cancelling a match.
‘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 back in May due to creative differences. It was said that Sasha Banks might have been released as well.
She finally debuted at Wrestle Kingdom 17 last week as Mercedes Mone, taking out KAIRI in the process.
Billi Bhatti said on Keepin’ it 100 that Sasha Banks turned down a contract offer by Triple H in the fall, as it was not for seven figures like Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Attempts were even made for a shorter term deal, but that didn’t work out, and she left for NJPW. Sasha was making $575K per year on her downside guarantee.
