WWE Fans Are Buzzing About Sasha Banks Being Reportedly Released

By Connor Casey - June 16, 2022 10:39 am EDT

Sasha Banks has been released by the WWE, per a report from Raj Giri on Wrestling Inc. on Wednesday night. No other major outlet has been able to confirm whether or not Banks is gone, though Sean Ross Sapp noted on Fightful Select that none of his sources within WWE outright denied the report. Banks' supposed departure comes one month after she and Naomi walked out of Monday Night Raw over disagreements with how WWE was booking them as a tag team. WWE then stripped the two of the tag titles and suspended them indefinitely.

Fans, naturally, were shocked by the news given how big of a star Banks has become since arriving on the main roster in 2015. You can see some of the reactions in the list below, but let us know what you think her future holds down in the comments!

A Star

The only thing I wanna say right now in regards to Sasha Banks, is that no matter what she does, she will remain a star. If her time in WWE did come to an end, it sucks but there are so many opportunities for her in or out of wrestling, whatever she decides.

Plenty of Options

If Sasha Banks has indeed been released by WWE, I don't think there's ever been a woman who has so many options post WWE, be it in Hollywood or anywhere she pleases in wrestling. The world is her oyster! You go girl! 🔥♥️

Change The Game

If she is done with WWE and does go to AEW, Sasha Banks would be a real gamechanger. She's exactly what that division needs right now.
