#2. We learned… Sasha Banks might have the injury bug.
Before you send me hate mail and release my personal information on Twitter, please hear me out. I’m not saying that Sasha Banks is injury prone; I’m saying that there’s just a small chance she might be. Actually, it doesn’t even matter if in reality she is or isn’t injury prone. What matters is how the company views her.
If Vinny Mac deems you a risk to his long-term booking (if he even has that), ask Christian, Dolph Ziggler and countless others what might happen to you. I’ll break it to you: mid-card for life.
Now, I think Vince McMahon is smart enough to realize that Sasha Banks is an elite talent and among a handful of women who hold tremendous value to the future of wrestling in general, not just the women’s division. But I will say that I think this loss was a good thing for Banks in the long run. Sasha has been dealing with nagging injuries that just won’t go away since before WrestleMania 32. I think it would be best for Banks to take 1-2 months off, recharge the batteries, take a step back and come back 100%.
One thing I’d like to see when she returns is Banks maybe changing up some of her in-ring work. Banks takes risks in matches that I question at times and being smaller in physique, I fear that because of her small frame, nagging injuries might become a common theme in her career. For her sake and the women’s division, Banks should move toward a more mat-based move-set in her return.
