“The Boss” Sasha Banks has been out of in-ring action for over four weeks. However, WWE has announced that Sasha Banks is back on SmackDown and is ready for The Premium Live Event – Royal Rumble. 

In the live event held on January 2, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair went head to head inside the ring with Sasha Banks. The former Women’s Champion suffered an injury during this match in North Carolina.

As per PWInsider.com, Banks’ leg planted awkwardly while taking a backbreaker from ‘The Queen’. She was helped out of the ring by WWE officials after Charlotte Flair retained her SmackDown Women’s title. 

WWE’s medics checked her thoroughly and saw that there was no fracture. Though, to be sure, Sasha went through an MRI scan and realized that she had a bruised calcaneus bone. She was undergoing physical therapy and recovering at home and may have progressed quickly enough to make a return.
