I have to believe that the only reason that WWE has been sidelining Sasha Banks since she debuted on the main roster back in July 2015 along with Charlotte and Becky Lynch is because theres a spot on the Wrestlemania card sitting there with her name on it. Currently on the injured list - a list nearly as long as the active list - Banks should be back in February, which is plenty of time for her to take over from Becky Lynch as Charlottes opponent. Technically I believe that shes a heel right now but she gets cheered by the smart crowd more than most babyfaces, so at Wrestlemania shed absolutely be the fan favourite, and should definitely go over clean. As long as she doesnt play the bland white meat babyface, and still slinks to the ring as the Boss, its all good. Sasha Banks is legitimately one of the two or three best wrestlers on WWEs roster. With Ric Flair in Charlottes corner giving it all his Drunken Manager kung fu, this could be a contender for match of the night. Its also a great opportunity for the much-touted transition from Divas title to Womens Championship, either on the night itself or on RAW the following evening. What Id love is for Charlotte and the Nature Boy to loudly complain that the title match was fixed, or that she was robbed, and continue to declare herself the Divas Champion, complete with crappy old butterfly belt, even after the title is retired. Its a classically heelish thing to do, to refuse to accept a loss even in the face of all the evidence.
