The year 2022 was a time of big upheavals in WWE. The departure of Vince McMahon from WWE was perhaps the biggest news, but even before that Sasha Banks‘ departure from the company while being one-half of the Women’s tag team champion was a shocker for the fans. One of the biggest stars of WWE walked out from the promotion without any notice. She, along with her tag team partner Naomi, left WWE before an episode of RAW. Since her exit, fans have been speculating when she could possibly return to WWE, only to be left disappointed.

Now, after months of her silence, she finally took to Twitter and had messages for WWE chairman Vince McMahon and Triple H who worked with her in NXT. Her messages also hinted at a possible end of her WWE tenure amid news that she is now a free agent.

Sasha Banks had been one of the cornerstones of WWE’s women’s revolution, along with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley. A five-time RAW Women’s Champion, she was largely considered a massive star for the company. Hence, her departure from WWE in May 2022 was a big deal. Banks and Naomi decided to walk away after disagreements over their bookings. WWE suspended the duo and stripped them of their titles.
