WWE’s Sasha Banks has had a rough 48 hours. After she and her partner Bayley loss the tag titles at Wrestlemania on Sunday, it seems as though Sasha is having a rough time with the creative team backstage. I will say that it seems as though the decision for Sasha and Bayley to lose the titles was a last second decision, but that was just the beginning of what happened.
The following night on Monday Night Raw Alexa Bliss called out Sasha and Bayley on twitter while announcing her in-ring return after injury. She challenged both of them to a match in a twitter post. If history has taught us anything, it was quite obvious whoever between the two answered Bliss’s challenge was sure to lose and that may have been what triggered Sasha’s cryptic social media rant. Right before the match Banks Posted a screenshot of Bliss having her blocked on Twitter and captioned it “You scared?”
Bayley was the one who answered Alexa’s challenged and got squashed in about 4 minutes. This can kind of been seen as a slap in the face to both Bayley and Sasha both considering they were champs less than 24 hours ago. Not to mention they are more than capable of putting on a better match than what was booked regardless if they were going to lose or not. After the match Bliss responded to Sasha’s “You scared?” Tweet and replied “, “No not scared…Sick of your petty 💩 #Blocked” . Some people seem think it’s a storyline and other think it’s real life beef. It could very well be real considering the history of the two as it’s well known they really never got along backstage.
Futhermore, Sasha took to Instagram to post pictures of herself and Bayley and it seems as though WWE Creative team are splitting Sasha and Bayley up during next weeks brand split. This may have been taken as throwing salt on the wound with Sasha as Bayley has been a huge factor in both her professional and personal life. Not to mention it also seems as though they may have been promised to still be the tag champs and still building the division at this point, but instead they are being split up in a last second decision. That can be a tough pill for anyone to swallow.
Sasha was supposed to appear on “The Wendy Williams” show today and posted on Twitter that she has to cancel due to personal reasons. The interesting thing about the post was that she ended it “#IfYouOnlyKnew” which is phrase she uses which usually indicates something going on backstage or in her personal life. This also led fans to know something was really wrong because Sasha earlier in the week was very excited to share the news that she’d be on the show in the first place. A lot of things seems to be happening fast in her life at the moment and maybe she’s simply having a hard time handling it all at once? Most likely either she or Bayley will be sent to Smackdown Live in next weeks SuperStar Shakeup and will have to revisit their solo careers apart from each other. Again, if history has taught us anything with WWE….They haven’t really been to high on the idea of Sasha being the Main Star even though she’s more than capable. Her last two years in WWE has not at all been even close to the potential she has to offer. Perhaps she feels as though it will be more of the same when her solo career starts up again? Regardless we hope that she’s able to pull through mentally and continue being who she is.
