3 signs that prove Sasha Banks is set to leave WWE

Set to leave?
Set to leave?

One would have thought that the buzz surrounding the WWE after WrestleMania would be that of the Superstar Shake-Up. However, that is perhaps the last thing on the trending list.

For starters, it was Dean Ambrose’s departure from Raw that made the news more than anything else in the wrestling stratosphere. The dust from that storm couldn’t even settle down before the WWE got hit with a new typhoon.

Sasha Banks is reportedly unhappy with WWE and is considering quitting the company where she made a good name for herself. This news comes after she and Bayley lost their tag titles to The IIconics.

While WWE is trying its best to stop her from quitting the company – after all, she is one of the Four Horsewomen that were hyped to bring about a women’s revolution in the company – there might be no way for them to convince The Boss, as here are three signs that prove that Sasha Banks might be done with the WWE for good.


#3 Unfollowing WWE

There are reports of WWE holding an emergency meeting in order to come up with ways that could stop Banks from leaving the company. It is not really shocking to see WWE go down this path as they have only just lost Dean Ambrose, and losing another top star would be bad for business.

However, in what might be a big blow to the company, Sasha Banks has already unfollowed WWE on Twitter. This might be discarded by many – due to the fact that it is just social media – but this in most cases is a red alert.

This is a way of using social media to silently announce one’s intentions. Athletes from different sports also use this tactic quite frequently and more often than not, they end up ‘unfollowing’ (leaving) in reality.

#2 Following AEW

If unfollowing WWE wasn’t enough, then following AEW, Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes is perhaps sufficient to make one’s intentions known. Both Omega and Rhodes are executive vice presidents of All Elite Wrestling and following them might just be a way of displaying her interest in joining the company.

Ever since the idea of All Elite Wrestling surfaced, there has been a buzz surrounding it. After all, it is being overseen by some of the best pro-wrestlers in the business, and at a time when WWE ratings haven’t been at their best.

On top of that, they are being backed by the billionaire Khan family, who have the financial muscle to take on the McMahons.

As a result, it is only natural for common fans to believe that WWE now has a rival in AEW, and that misused wrestlers in the former promotion have the choice to jump ship.

And given that AEW doesn’t yet have a big-name female superstar, Sasha Banks following them could lead to something.

#1 Cryptic messages on social media

The biggest sign among all of these are the messages that Sasha Banks has been posting on social media ever since her loss at WrestleMania. The first among a series of tweets was:

‘If I were to start again would I do it any different?’

It also had a photo of her feet directed towards the Raw TitanTron.

After that, she called out Alexa Bliss for blocking her on Twitter and asked her whether she was scared. Bliss didn’t shy away from a reply as she retorted saying,

‘No not scared... sick of your petty 💩 #Blocked’

Things started gaining pace from there as she pulled out of her appearance on Wendy Williams’ show and used a cryptic hashtag on Twitter ‘#IfYouOnlyKnew’ to announce her absence on the show.

And then this happened:

So, it is safe to say that Banks is really considering leaving WWE, and she just might very soon.
