It's no secret that Sasha Banks is unhappy with WWE right now and while most fans really don't care, they fail to realize just how badly Banks has been badly booked in the last couple of years.

Beyond that, they also fail to realize the drastic changes that the women's division has undergone and how that has left her out in the cold as well.

Whether you like Sasha Banks as a performer or not, and some people definitely don't, one still needs to realize that The Boss' anger is somewhat justified. Furthermore, they need to understand that it really is the result of a string of bad decision made by WWE officials over the last couple of years.

With that being said and Banks reportedly set to demand her release from WWE and she also didn't show up on this week's edition of RAW, here are five reasons why Banks has every right to be upset with WWE. as always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and tell us if you think her actions are justified or just The Boss whining for attention.


#5 Rousey overtaking the division

Another thing the WWE Universe needs to be honest with themselves is the fact that while Ronda Rousey's run as Raw Women's champion was nothing short of awesome, it also left a lot of the division with little opportunity.

Unfortunately for Sasha Banks and Bayley, they were two superstars that the company spent little to no time on when Rousey was around. In fact, during an interview on CBS's in this corner podcast, Sasha Banks initially thought Ronda Rousey coming to WWE was a bit unfair to the rest of the division

And to some extent, she was right about that. While Rousey quickly rose to fame in the squared circle and quickly inserted herself into the title picture, WWE made Bayley and Sasha Banks into afterthoughts. Beyond that, they kept trying to change their storylines almost every week, which made things more confusing.

Beyond that, the company kept writing it off as if it either didn't happen or took them off of the show entirely for weeks at a time.

#4 Becoming mid-card fodder

Ronda Rousey became the focal point of the women's division ever since winning The Raw Women's title at last year's SummerSlam, which pretty much made everything else an afterthought by comparison.

With that being said, however, Banks has been an afterthought in the division long before Rousey's eventual arrival.

Think about it! Before Rousey even stepped onto the scene, Banks was regularly losing to Asuka, Nia Jax or whoever the company felt like pushing at that time.

If nothing else, Banks essentially became mid-card fodder without a story and then was paired with Bayley in what felt like a half-hearted attempt at doing something for the kids.

Either way, this proves that while Banks has been a forebearer of The Women's Revolution, she has quickly found herself tossed out of the title picture and relegated to a sideshow gimmick as a tag team with Bayley.

If nothing else, that shows just how far Banks has fallen since her rise to the main roster and might help explain why she is so angry with WWE. Think about it! Banks has been talking for days on her social media about wasted potential and doing it all over again, which more then likely seems to show that she is unhappy with her place on the card and has been for a very long time.

#3 Tag team division losing credibility

What has WWE done with The Women's tag team division?

Seriously though! Things started off promisingly enough with a Elimination Chamber match for the newly minted belts, but has done little since then to give the division the jumpstart it needs. WWE has also introduced some very confusing rules regarding the belt, which hasn't helped things either.

As if that wasn't enough, Bayley and Sasha Banks lost their newly won tag team titles to The IIconics, which pretty much instantaneously imploded any credibility the division had left.

While some might think that's a little too far, especially with how early their run is, the duo has been a mid-card joke since day one and have no feel of legitimacy.

If nothing else, that's a huge black mark on the tag team division right now and it's only going to get worse the longer that WWE keeps the belts on them. Maybe WWE will find a way to justify it in the end, but right now it just seems impossible to do so.

#2 Not getting a rematch with Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks had an absolutely electric match against each other at The Royal Rumble and while The Baddest Woman On The Planet ultimately came out on top, she had to do so by pinfall for the first time in her career.

Not only was this a huge plot point that WWE should have followed up on, it also showed that the company was willing ot protect her.

Unfortunately for Banks, the rematch never happened and The Boss had once again fallen down the card into irrelevancy.

Of course, she was quickly put into The Tag team title picture with Bayley and ended up winning The Elimination Chamber match to win the titles for the first time, but it still pales in comparison to a rematch with Rousey for the title.

In all honesty, Banks deserved another shot and not getting that rematch, especially after the way the first one ended and the subsequent tease WWE did after the match, had to be a huge hit to the gut for the Boss.

#1 Loss to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35

According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, Banks tried to quit over the weekend, as she felt blindsided in finding out at the last minute that they were taking the tag team titles from her and Bayley.

She had thought that the two of them would be given a chance to have a strong run and bring credibility to the belts"

Not only does this pretty much prove that losing to The IIconics was the final straw in Sasha Banks decision to walk out on WWE, it also pretty much proves that Banks and Bayley were blindsided by the decision.

Of course the way Sasha Banks is going about all of this might be a little immature, but what do you expect from someone that thought she was valued by the company?

In the end, Sasha Banks and Bayley deserved better then to be blindsided at the last second, and to lose to The IIconics was even worse.

It also seemed to be a big hit to the women's tag team title division, which itself is still in its infancy and is going to require a lot of work from WWE to get things back on track.
