Sasha Banks Reportedly Gone from WWE
WWE has reportedly released Sasha Banks.
As we’ve noted, the futures of Banks and Naomi have been up in the air after they walked out of a live RAW taping last month as they were not happy with creative directions. They were stripped of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, and suspended indefinitely. You can find links to our various reports on the Banks and Naomi situation below.
In an update, word now from within WWE is that Banks has been released, according to Raj Giri of WrestlingInc. There’s no word yet on if Banks requested the release, or if this was something from WWE’s end.
After working a WWE tryout camp in June 2012, Banks signed a WWE contract in August 2012 and began working WWE NXT. The cousin to Celebrity WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg has been on the main roster since July 2015, making a name for herself as one of the most popular, and at times controversial, female WWE Superstars of this era.
The 30 year old Banks is a one-time NXT Women’s Champion, a five-time RAW Women’s Champion, a one-time SmackDown Women’s Champion, and a three-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion. She was the fourth WWE Women’s Triple Crown Champion and the third WWE Women’s Grand Slam Champion.
It was just revealed today how Banks underwent eye surgery earlier this week, as noted at this link.
