Sasha Banks was one of the women who kicked off the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match. Banks wrestled the returning Melina for several minutes before she was able to eliminate her from the match. The SmackDown star made quite the statement before she was eliminated just a few minutes later.

Despite setting up several future feuds whilst in the Women's Royal Rumble match, Banks hasn't been seen since. As a SmackDown superstar, she would have been expected to be part of one of the recent episodes, but instead, the company has pushed Ronda Rousey's match against Charlotte as the main story in the Women's Division.

Banks main evented WrestleMania last year in the absence of Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, and is now in danger of not even being part of the show.

Ahead of the Rumble, it was noted that Banks was suffering from a leg injury and it's unclear if this is the reason why she hasn't returned to SmackDown.
