Slice Wrestling has indicated that it was 'sometime after' WrestleMania 35 that Sasha Banks asked for her release from the company. I believe that it was backstage either before or during Monday Night RAW.

However the first we'd hear about Banks asking for her release would be several days later on Thursday when Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter was released, he said the following.

According to one person high up, Banks tried to quit over the weekend, as she felt blindsided when 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 and establish them as serious belts. Then the decision was made to go to the Iiconics, who as champions, could only make the belts seem like gimmick comedy belts.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful then added that he believed WWE had given Sasha Banks the same response they'd given the Revival a couple of months prior, to not grant the release, but to instead ask for more time to prove things will improve.
