Sasha Banks finally returned to the wrestling business after a long hiatus where she repeatedly teased her return. Following her AEW debut, the female superstar has been the talk of the town currently. In a recent podcast episode, a wrestling veteran also talked about her current contract situation. Dutch Mantell gave us an idea of why he thinks Banks didn’t go to WWE.

The former wrestler also talked about how the ex-WWE superstar is treated differently than other wrestlers in the industry. This is because of the ties that Sasha Banks has with Hollywood due to her cousin.

Sasha Banks gets away due to the ‘Hollywood treatment’

On episode #92 of Story Time With Dutch Mantell, the wrestling industry veteran talked about Sasha Banks’ paycheck situation at the present. Through his co-host, he got to know that the wrestler demanded around a hundred grand during his time in Japan and received the same when she stuck with it.

Considering that she had a similar or higher price when she came back to the US, Mantell considers that WWE didn’t sign her because of her asking price. However, Tony Khan seems to have struck a deal with The CEO.

Mantell revealed his thoughts on the potential deal and said, “See I’m a fan of some of the others but not so much of her because she got the Hollywood treatment you know she was Snoop Dog’s cousin or whatever she was or family or something. So she got all that because she had the ins and outs with some stars but she says she was made for it.”

Despite the opinion that he has on her, Mantell still wished her the best of luck for her future in AEW as Mercedes Mone.
