10 Recent Wrestling Moments That Shook The World

Heading into Wrestle Kingdom 17, most were very much aware that a certain Boss was NJPW-bound. Yet, that still couldn't prepare folks for the entirely surreal visual of the one-time Sasha Banks strutting into the Tokyo Dome before challenging KAIRI to an IWGP Women's Championship match in February.

This was a crossover WWE Horsewoman who once seemed destined to play out the rest of her impressive run in-between the ropes under the Sports Entertainment banner. And even after the former SmackDown, Raw, and NXT Women's Champion walked out on Vince McMahon's company in May, many still felt it would only be a matter of time before Banks' epic theme music blared out through their speakers once again.

But here she was, living her best free agent life and making the bold move of betting on herself as the unquestionable big money superstar Mercedes Mone definitely is.

And should the former WWE top performer go on to bigger and better things during her spell away from her long-time employer, perhaps other notable WWE names will consider following in The CEO's footsteps in the not too distant future, too.

Watch. This. Space.
