At WrestleMania 35, Sasha Banks and Bayley lost their Women's Tag Team Titles to The IIconics in a Fatal 4-Way match. The next night on Raw, Banks was nowhere to be seen. Soon after, it was revealed that Banks was upset with what happened at 'Mania.
The next few months saw The Boss post a long string of cryptic messages, follow AEW on Twitter, go on vacations, and keep fans speculating on whether she would ever come back.
Now, around 3 months after Banks left, a local advertisement for SummerSlam 2019 has surfaced. The PPV poster shows a bunch of WWE Superstars on the front, including Sasha Banks! It seems like Banks might just return in time to be a part of the Biggest Party of the Summer. Let's look at 5 exciting scenarios for Banks' return.

#5 Sasha Banks turns on Bayley
The friendship between Sasha Banks and Bayley isn't exactly a secret. The two women have gone through a lot ever since their days in NXT. When Banks left after WrestleMania 35, it effectively marked the end of The Boss 'N' Hug Connection.
Bayley went on to win the Money In The Bank Ladder match and become the SmackDown Live Women's Champion on the same night.
Banks could make her return on the blue brand, delivering a heartfelt speech about how she's so happy for her best friend for what she has achieved during her absence. The emotional segment ends with Banks hitting an unsuspecting Bayley from behind, thus turning heel.
Although this rivalry failed back when WWE tried it before, things aren't the same now. A SummerSlam match between the two would be nothing but money.

#4 Sasha Banks joins the Club
How long has it been since we've had a proper faction on the main roster that includes a woman? SAnitY could've become big, had it not been disbanded. Last week on WWE Raw, AJ Styles turned heel and reformed the Club.
Why not spice things up further and let AJ announce that the Club vows to take over the entire company and do with it as they please?
Styles further states that there's someone who has a grudge with Vince McMahon and WWE. Someone who has been wronged by the company on several occasions, despite giving everything she had.
Out comes Sasha Banks, with an evil smirk on her face. She goes on a rant about how no one cared while she was gone, and she's here to make everyone pay. This reveal would certainly lead to a string of interesting possibilities on the red brand.
#3 Sasha Banks teams up with Charlotte Flair
There was a time when Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair were the cornerstones of the Women's Revolution. The two Superstars had the first-ever Women's Hell in a Cell match, and traded the Women's Title in a rivalry that lasted for a good while.
Today, both these women are out of the title picture and their 4 Horsewomen cohorts Becky Lynch and Bayley are at the top. Remember The Divas of Doom, consisting of Beth Phoenix and Natalya, who ran roughshod on the Women's division back in the day?
An intriguing scenario could see Banks return and confront Charlotte Flair, explaining how both of them have fallen into obscurity. Banks then convinces Flair to form an alliance, with the sole aim of taking over the Women's division again, and dethrone Becky Lynch and Bayley in the process.
A modern-day version of The Divas of Doom, with Charlotte and Sasha as dastardly heels, could certainly work.
#2 Sasha Banks forms her own faction
After Banks left, rumors began floating around that she and Bayley caused a tantrum after losing the belts to The IIconics. Banks posted a photo with Bayley and the new champions in response, shutting down the rumor-mill.
This could act as a recipe for an interesting scenario, where Banks returns to the company and forms a faction, leading The IIconics.
This angle would need the breaking of the fourth wall. Banks could confront Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, and reveal that the two were nothing but nice to her after the 'Mania loss, while Bayley hasn't talked to her ever since she left, barring a bunch of social media exchanges.
Banks would state that she has realized who her true friends are in this business, and proceeds to join forces with The IIconics. With The Riott Squad and Absolution not in the picture anymore, a three-woman heel team with Banks as the leader could result in a bunch of exciting scenarios.
#1 Sasha Banks targets "The Man"
While Banks lost her Titles at The Show of Shows, Becky Lynch won the Women's Titles in the main event of WrestleMania 35. The past three months have seen Becky Lynch become a force to be reckoned with, and has managed to hold on to the Raw Women's Title.
An incredibly exciting angle for Sasha Banks' return could be The Boss targeting Becky Lynch, and vowing to end her dream run.
Banks could return on a random episode of Raw, attacking Becky Lynch and unleashing a brutal beatdown on The Man. She would explain her actions later, stating that watching Becky win the titles she made relevant, hurt her more than anyone could ever imagine.
Banks then promises to make things right, resulting in a big Women's Title match at SummerSlam, which takes place later this year on August 11, 2019.
