I don't mean this as a sign of disrespect but Dana Brooke has a long way to go before she's even in the same ballpark as Sasha Banks. And I don't mean this from an in-ring perspective alone, but also from the fact that she really doesn't have a well-etched out gimmick at the moment. Sasha Banks is a much bigger star than Brooke is right now.

And yet, it was Dana Brooke who picked up the win for her team, pinning, of all people, Sasha Banks. I wonder if this means that Banks' push is over, considering she's just been a sidekick to Bayley since she arrived on WWE SmackDown.

WWE has never really given Sasha Banks a chance to shine like they should have and this is a travesty as she may possibly be the best women's wrestler on the planet at this point in time.
