NEW ORLEANS — For four months, Sasha Banks was conspicuous by her absence, her name in the streets even as she stayed out of sight and minded her own business in the aftermath of WrestleMania. And, in her first significant turn on the mic since her return two weeks ago, The Boss took the opportunity to correct — and confirm — a few blind items that persisted since her departure. Yes, she “threw a fit” at The Showcase of the Immortals; yes, she cried on the locker room floor; and yes, she took her ball and went home. The why, however, was far from what was rumored.
The reason The Boss was so despondent was because she’d been “relegated” to a tag title match she didn’t care about, defending titles she didn’t care about, while Becky Lynch got the main-event spotlight against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. To reclaim the spotlight, Sasha knew she needed a “perfect plan,” which is why she picked a precise moment to heinously ambush the grieving Natalya two weeks ago. And even though Becky Lynch came to save the day, The Boss’ mission was accomplished: She had the WWE Universe’s attention, she had the spotlight and she had all the “glory” she deserved.
Natalya’s arrival somewhat rained on Banks’ parade, as The Queen of Harts sprinted toward the ring and began trading haymakers with Sasha at ringside. The Queen of Harts’ vicious throwdown showed The Boss that she isn’t quite as impervious as she thinks. Natalya may have gained an edge in advance of her match against Banks later tonight, but it’s hard to believe the fight didn’t play into Sasha’s hands even further: Now, everyone’s talking about her for one more reason.
