7 Times WWE Missed Opportunities With Sasha Banks

7. A Potential Feud With Becky Lynch

Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch at NXT: Unstoppable is a forgotten gem of a wrestling match.

Easy to overlook in a sea of spectacular matches to hail from WWE’s developmental, The Boss and The Man put on a brilliant showcase of wrestling during their 2015 match for Banks’ NXT Women’s Championship. It was Lynch’s breakout match that pulled her from the shadow of Banks, Bayley and Charlotte, and pushed her to the same level as her fellow NXT Four Horsewomen. A spectacular showcase of in-ring psychology and solid mat work, Banks was at her best here as the vicious heel targeting the arm of her opponent as a scrappy Lynch fought to prove herself.

Now that The Man has risen to the top of the WWE mountain, main-eventing the biggest PPV of the year, it would be a treat to see her and The Boss rekindle their rivalry on the main roster. Both women are excellent on the mic and the potential promos between a braggadocious Lynch and a vicious heel Banks could elevate Raw back to its former glory. If WWE can resolve their issues with The Boss then a feud with the Raw Women’s Champion could be what finally revitalises the WWE brand.
