WWE News: Sasha Banks To Deliver Bad News On ‘WWE Raw’?
From the archive: published Sep 5, 2016, 10 years ago. Details may have changed since.
On Monday Night Raw, there a lot of avenues to take in which it can be successful. The big storyline going into Monday night is Kevin Owens’ WWE Universal championship win. It was a huge shock to the WWE Universe when he defeated Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Big Cass in a fatal-four way match in the WWE Raw main event. Triple H came out of nowhere to attack Reigns and let Rollins pin him in the middle of the squared circle.
After that, WWE fans were expecting HHH to help Rollins take out Owens, as the two had a partnership in 2015 that culminated in a successful Authority angle. Rollins had monster heat for most of the year and defending his WWE World Heavyweight championship month-after-month. While some criticized his championship run, Rollins was told to do what was booked for television. The ratings declined, but with all of the injuries, it was hard to keep pace.
That being said, on WWE Raw on September 5, a tweet has surfaced from Sasha Banks that bares resemblance to Daniel Bryan’s tweet before he retired. Now, that doesn’t mean she’s retiring, far far from it. However, a tweet like this can’t mean anything good for Sasha Banks and the Women’s division.
You shouldn’t settle for what’s expected. The Boss is gonna be on #Raw tonight and I got some bad news. #LegitBoss always

Hopefully, Banks meant that she has bad news for other female wrestlers. If not, then it probably means she will be gone for a long time, quite like Finn Balor. He will miss at least six months with his torn labrum and broken bones around the area. Banks has made such good strides in making the Women’s division in the WWE a promising part of their programming. It used to be a “bathroom break,” as WWE fans used to put it.
Now, Banks is putting the women on the map, alongside Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Nikki Bella, and Bayley. She did an interview with SkySports about the women getting equal treatment on WWE television.
“I wanted to change the division,” Banks told Sky Sports ahead of SummerSlam.
“I didn’t want to walk into WWE and be someone who just does bikini matches and played second fiddle to the guys. I wanted to stand out, make people excited to see women’s wrestling and show them we can be better than the men.”
So far, Sasha Banks has succeeded in doing so. More men care about women’s wrestling than they did previously. That’s due to the Four Horsewomen and WWE NXT. WWE writers on the main roster only gave them a platform to do it on a bigger stage. The true Women’s Revolution began in their developmental territory.
