Injury Update On Sasha Banks After Brutal Bump

https://instagram.com/p/6uoiC1ICH6/ Sasha Banks isn't injured, but is being given some time to rest up this week, the wrestling observer newsletter has reported. She was said to be a little sore after her NXT Takeover Brooklyn match with Bayley, in which she took a reverse hurricanrana off the top rope. It looked like she landed right on her head, taking the impact on her neck. Given how secretive WWE have been about head injuries recently, there's been speculation that Banks could have suffered a concussion. Wrestler health is being kept under wraps, and it was months before WWE admitted that Daniel Bryan's recent injury is concussion related. However, at this stage, there's no confirmation that Banks has an injury. She missed Raw and didn't wrestle on Smackdown, but it seems to be just a case of letting her rest. She'd be expected to be back in the ring next week, and if she isn't, then we'll know for sure that there's an injury. She did wrestle the night after Takeover, at the already advertised women's match on SummerSlam's card, but she was noticeably less involved than some of the other divas. Banks is one of the best wrestlers in the entire WWE, and her match with Bayley was one of the best WWE bouts of 2015. Hopefully she'll be back to full fitness very soon.
