#2 How has Sasha fallen so far?
There was a time Sasha Banks was tipped for greatness. She was quite clearly the most popular member of the so-called ‘Four Horsewomen’ from NXT, proving her abilities inside and outside the ring. So where has it all gone wrong?
Sasha Banks should have won the triple threat match for the new Women’s Championship belt back at Wrestlemania 32. The stage was set, including a memorable walk down to the ring accompanied by Snoop Dog. Instead, the company went with Charlotte, and Sasha’s career has been in second gear ever since.
While Alexa Bliss and Bayley were representing the RAW women’s division in a kendo stick on a pole match, Sasha was playing a supporting role to a cruiserweight feud that very few people care about.
What makes matters worse is that this was originally supposed to be about Sasha Banks and Alisha Fox. The RAW’s women’s division cannot live up to the standards of Smackdown’s at the moment, and part of the reason is that the division has no real depth.
For a three-hour show that airs every single week, it’s absurd that they cannot find something for the women to do unless they’re directly involved in the title scene.
Fox vs. Banks could have been the kick start that RAW needed and could have provided some much-needed focus on the division as a whole, rather than just the two at the top. Instead, this was much more about the men involved in the match than the women.
Sasha was not even involved in the conclusion of the bout, instead, acting as a cheerleader while Rich Swann took all of the attention for himself. The WWE should not be using their women’s division to prop up 205 Live right now, and this match was a perfect example of why.
