WWE wrestlers are now "speaking openly backstage" that Sasha Banks has left the company, even if the organisation itself is yet to confirm the news.

This is according to Fightful Select, who are reporting that nobody has been told anything official, but said sources "would be in a position to know" if things had been finalised. All of this follows initial reports fron Raj Giri last week that were corroborated by WrestleVotes later that week.

Banks hasn't appeared on WWE television since she left Monday Night Raw alongside Naomi ahead of the May 16th edition of the show.

This extended - rather strikingly - this week's episode of SmackDown, where a crowd sign putting over 'The Boss' was censored in official images of the show later published. A "Sasha Krew 4 Life" banner was left blank in shots of Raquel Rodridguez celebrating qualification into the Money In The Bank ladder match.

Speculation has surrounded 'The Blueprint' for weeks, with stories of her contract expiring later this year being brought up before her original Raw departure. Though all indications point to her eventual exit, WWE's confirmation will likely remain the only definitive statement on the matter.
