Sasha Banks was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown as part of the first night of the 2019 WWE Draft on Friday, and she was booked to appear on Monday Night Raw for another match with Becky Lynch to try and earn the Blue Brand the first pick of the night. However that might not be the case anymore. Even though the announcement on WWE.com is still up, various cable guides have started advertising a match between Lynch and Charlotte Flair instead.

After her intense match at Hell in a Cell against Lynch, Banks wasn’t medically cleared to compete on last week’s Raw. The injury was first reported as a back injury, but PWInsider then followed up by reporting Banks had injured her tailbone.

Whether or not the guide’s advertising is a mistake remains to be seen.

Banks returned from a four-month hiatus back in August and quickly turned heel to kick off a feud with Lynch. Though reports of her being upset with the company’s creative direction spread for months, she claimed her break was more about her mental health.
“I feel like it was so much… so many bad things just kept happening, and I didn’t know how to deal with them,” Banks said during her episode of WWE Chronicle. “I think what really started it all, feeling sad was the whole Paige situation. That really sucked. And having fans, like, destroy me and destroy my work. I pride myself on my work so much and I would never intentionally try to hurt somebody. And, um, that sucked. And that made me question myself as a wrestler.”
