Sasha Banks & Lio Rush Pulled From WWE's European Tour
Don't expect to see these wantaway stars anytime soon.
Sasha Banks and Lio Rush currently find their WWE careers on ice, with neither expected to make television anytime soon following various backstage incidents over the past few weeks. Now, it looks like both have been excluded from WWE's ongoing European tour.
While Banks was originally listed for the international sojourn, PW Insider have reported that 'The Boss' didn't travel with the roster when they left the United States on Tuesday. Similarly, Rush isn't being advertised for any dates on the tour and wasn't even backstage at this week's Monday Night Raw.
Banks hasn't appeared on WWE television since she and Bayley dropped the Women's Tag Team Titles to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35. Rush was still backstage as recently as a few weeks ago, but has been removed from his role as Bobby Lashley's manager and apparently blacklisted from main roster TV.
Both are key names in the backstage dissent that has defined WWE's 2019, along with the likes of Luke Harper and The Revival, as well as Tye Dillinger, Hideo Itami, and TJP, who were actually successful in securing their releases. For now, though, it looks like WWE are giving Rush and Banks the Neville treatment.
