Sasha Banks hasn't been seen in WWE since WrestleMania 35 when the Legit Boss and her tag team partner Bayley were defeated by The IIconics for the Women's Tag Team Championships.

There have been plenty of rumors and speculation about why she has been gone, ranging from tantrums in the locker room to Banks simply enjoying some time to rest on holiday for a while.

Regardless of what the reason is, her absence has certainly been noticed by the WWE Universe, who are all keen for one of the very best in-ring talents to return to weekly programming sooner rather than later.

WWE cannot afford to let someone like Banks simply sit on the sidelines, nor will they want to let her leave to possibly join AEW much as Dean Ambrose has done.

Banks has been liking tweets that have trashed WWE, leading many to think that she is done with the company. Banks has reportedly been back in the States filming for WWE 2K20 this week, which could be a major sign that she is set to return soon.

With a potential return to WWE in mind, let's take a look at three possible feuds for Sasha Banks for when she does come back.

#3 Charlotte Flair

WWE could choose to return to the tried and tested rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks when the Boss returns to WWE. The two women have a long standing history together that has seen them create history in the women's division together, from main-eventing Raw to competing inside Hell in a Cell.

Right now, Charlotte Flair doesn't have much going on after dominating the Women's Championship scene for many months, and so a hot feud against a returning Sasha Banks would be a welcome storyline for her.

The two women always put on incredible matches against each other, and WWE booking a top women's storyline outside of the championship scene is something that the company really needs to start doing and this would be the ideal way to do that.

#2 Becky Lynch

Right now, The Man is arguably the biggest name in WWE, and even though she has certainly cooled off since WrestleMania 35, there is still a buzz around Becky Lynch that is undeniable.

However, there is no doubt that she is cooling down as mentioned, and her online feud against beloved WWE Hall Of Famer Edge has not exactly helped matters. Therefore, WWE should want to get the buzz going for Lynch once again and a hot feud against a returning Sasha Banks could be just the perfect opportunity for them to do so.

With Banks working as a frustrated heel, sick of being underappreciated for how good she is, she could be the exact opponent that Lynch needs right now and is something that would certainly have the world talking all over again.

Sasha Banks might have managed to hold the Raw Women's Championship on several occasions, but she never managed a lengthy reign, and if WWE wants to keep the title being the talk of the company, then whoever beats Lynch needs to be at her level.

#1 Bayley

Whilst Sasha Banks totally disappeared from television after losing the tag team Titles, her partner, Bayley, has gone on to totally refresh her character, getting back to where she was at the start of her main roster run.

After cashing in the Money In The Bank briefcase, Bayley is back at the very top of the women's division as the SmackDown Live Women's Champion and she is doing a fantastic job as the holder.

It has been a refreshing change to see someone new as the face of the blue brand, and now all that Bayley needs is a major rival to start a feud with heading into the summer. And her bestfriend Sasha Banks could be just that.

WWE spent a large portion of 2018 teasing a feud between Banks and Bayley, only to never pull the trigger on it, but bringing Sasha back as a top heel against her friend would set up a very exciting storyline.

WWE is going to be doing everything in its power to keep Banks with the company and therefore she is certainly going to be featured strongly when she does return, hence why a feud for the SmackDown Women's Title makes sense.

Banks and Bayley have created magic in the ring together before, with the two women having undeniable in-ring chemistry, and this is a perfect way to have the Legit Boss return to the fold.
