Sasha Banks Asking Big Money For Non-WWE Appearances
Sasha Banks knows her value when it comes to those non-WWE appearances...
Sasha Banks' asking price for appearances outside of WWE currently sits at $30,000.
This is according to Fightful Select, who learned of the figure based on the announcement that she'll be at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo event in August. This will be Sasha's first appearance outwith WWE since she and Naomi walked out of a May episode of Raw, resulting in the duo not only being stripped of the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, but receiving indefinite suspensions as well.
One promoter stated that Sasha's asking price was "exactly as expected." They believe Sasha will be a name in demand after departing WWE on her own terms. Additionally, that she hasn't been a regular on conventions and has a dedicated fanbase may also have driven her price up, in the promoter's eyes.
Banks' price is believed to be comparable to AEW star Sting, with Fightful's source stating that Ric Flair, Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, and Hulk Hogan were the only names asking a higher price. The promoter stated that they would be happy to book Banks for $30,000 as they know they'd more than make their money back.
It should be noted that this is Sasha's price for an appearance, not a wrestling match. Whether or not the multi-time WWE Champion has been released from the market leaders remains unknown.
