Sasha Banks

After being suspended from the WWE indefinitely, Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc. is hearing rumors that Sasha Banks has been released.

If Giri’s reporting proves true, this could be a massive deal that quite literally shakes up the wrestling landscape for quite some time. Banks, though linked to Holywood projects like The Mandalorian, remains one of the biggest-drawing women in the sport, and if she were to leave for AEW or Imp… okay, just to AEW, it could quite literally overhaul a division that just doesn’t seem to capture as much goodwill as other segments on Tony Khan’s weekly show. I spoke with Raj this afternoon and asked WWE about this.

WWE has reportedly released Sasha Banks one month after being indefinitely suspended and stripped of her tag team title with Naomi.

Immediately after news broke about the women walking out, WWE tried painting the women as “unprofessional”. Corey Graves said those words on air when telling the fans that they walked out after the show started. WWE put out a statement about the situation, which is very rare. According to Wrestle Inc.’s Raj Giri, Banks was released.

Almost exactly one month after walking out of a Monday Night Raw taping, Sasha Banks has reportedly been released by the WWE.

Sasha Banks has been a huge part of WWE’s move towards a more competitive, more modern, and progressive women’s roster. However, Sapp concludes his tweet by giving Giri credibility, saying he has good sources. Talent Relations reportedly told Sapp that they had no information on this.

Sasha Banks has been released by WWE, according to Wrestling Inc.'s own Raj Giri. It's unknown at this point if Banks requested the release.

WWE has repeatedly mentioned that Banks and Naomi “disappointed the WWE Universe” by staging a walkout. Sasha Banks signed with WWE in August 2012 after excelling in a tryout camp. Banks and Naomi staged a walkout from WWE during the May 16 “Raw” and were subsequently handed out indefinite suspensions without pay.

Nearly a month after Sasha Banks & Naomi walked out on a live edition of WWE RAW, reports are that Banks has been released by the company.

Citing documents and sources familiar with the situation, the article claims that the January 2022 agreement was reportedly meant to prevent the woman from discussing her relationship with or from making critical statements about McMahon. For their part, a spokesperson for the WWE communicated that the company was working with the board during the investigation, and emphasized that the relationship between McMahon and the woman was consensual. ORIGINAL REPORT: Nearly a month after WWE Superstars & Women's Tag-Team Champions Sasha Banks & Naomi walked out on a live edition of WWE Monday Night RAW over reported creative differences, reports have surfaced tonight that Banks has been released from the professional wrestling company. The WWE would go on to indefinitely suspend both wrestlers without pay, issuing the following statement at the time:

WWE has reportedly released Sasha Banks. The surprising news comes a month after Banks walked out during an episode of WWE Raw in May.

“The Boss” first became a star in WWE NXT, where she had a memorable feud with Bayley, who she would later hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship twice with. The two were WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time. Monday Night Raw is a scripted live TV show, whose characters are expected to perform the requirements of their contract.”

Has the Sasha Banks-WWE drama finally come to a head? A late, breaking report Wednesday night suggested that may be the case, with an outcome that will ...

Given the recent quality of the Bucks' in-ring performances, it is probably for the best that AEW chose to run with Matt and Nick as champions instead. "As with anything, that's not confirmed until it happens, but talk of the Hardys being next in line for the tag titles dwindled immediately after that performance." With Jeff Hardy claiming he and brother Matt were in the middle of their last run together, AEW originally considered putting the titles on them. Reigns has earned his deal and the right to work fewer dates. Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE over creative frustrations during the May 16 episode of Raw and were immediately suspended without pay. He has been the best part of WWE television for the best part of two years and finally realized the potential so many saw in him a decade ago.

I spoke with Raj this afternoon and asked WWE about this. Not saying that it didn't or isn't happening, but this is what I've heard so far when I asked. As of this evening, they said they hadn't heard that, and talent relations didn't seem to know.
