WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Former Champion meets rival company's top executive, legend apologizes to The Rock, Bayley's request for Brock Lesnar (October 18, 2021)

#1 Sasha Banks remains tight-lipped about missing WWE SummerSlam 2021

Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship was the original plan for this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view. However, Becky Lynch replaced the latter and defeated Belair to become the new titleholder.

When asked about why she missed the pay-per-view during a recent Q&A with the New York Post, Banks refused to provide any key details:

"I’m not telling you anything. (Laughs). You’re not Oprah. You’re not the WWE Network, you’re not getting me the views. I’m not telling you my secrets. You can read my book. You can read my documentary when I want to speak about it," said Banks.

Banks will challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship in a triple-threat match against Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair at Crown Jewel.

Banks recently gained momentum as she became the first woman in several months to pin Lynch. The question is, can she repeat the feat at Crown Jewel?
