The heart of the matter

During the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, via 411Mania.com, Dave Meltzer revealed that despite WWE dropping a Sasha Banks tease on Raw this week, there has been no definitive decision made regarding Banks' return to TV. Meltzer added WWE sources informed him that Sasha Banks' return to the company is "to be determined", and that it remains up to Banks herself if she wants to return to WWE.

"If it was lock [that Banks wanted to return to WWE] she'd be back," concluded Meltzer.
