WWE Releases Statement on Sasha Banks’ Career Threatening Injury

Published 09/05/2020, 8:32 AM EDT

Sasha Banks did not leave the WWE ThunderDome in the best shape following Friday Night SmackDown.

Not only did she injure her knee by crashing into the ring post during the Women’s Tag Team Championship match, but also was at the receiving end of Shayna Baszler’s wrath. However, this was not all that ‘The Boss’ had to sustain during the match.

In a shocking turn of events, Bayley attacked Sasha Banks as well. In fact, her attack was nothing short of being brutal and uncalled for.

The latter half of The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection stomped several times on her leg before the final brutal blow. She wrapped a steel chair around Banks’ neck. Following this, she proceeded to jump off the second rope to stomp on it.

This is when the former WWE champion was taken to a local medical facility. She went straight from the WWE ThunderDome to an ambulance and is currently undergoing evaluation.

This is the beginning of the end for The Golden Role Models. The fact that Sasha Banks and Bayley would break up was being rumored after the first time they lost the Women’s Tag Team Titles to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

Now that they have failed to secure it a second time, this is it for the duo. It was quite the fall for the two of them, to be honest.

During the pandemic, they were ruling every WWE brand. Unfortunately, following SummerSlam 2020, Sasha Banks lost her WWE Raw Women’s Championship to Asuka while Bayley managed to hold on to her WWE SmackDown title against the same opponent.

Now, they have also lost the Tag Team titles. I feel it’s been particularly hard for Sasha Banks.

Banks and Bayley are the second Women’s Tag Team and real-life best friends to break up on WWE television this week. The IIconics also had to part ways following their defeat at the hands of The Riott Squad.
