Sasha Banks has been at loggerheads with her WWE bosses since WrestleMania 35. Reports from sources like Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer claim Sasha wasn't happy about losing the Women's Tag Titles on the big show, and both parties have been unable to reach an agreement on her return.

It's not looking good.

The interesting thing here then is that Sasha was prominently featured in one of the pictures Variety used to pad their article. Despite the fact McMahon could've given the outlet any number of photos to sell the ongoing 'women's revolution', they chose a snap from 2016's WrestleMania 32. That, ladies and gents, is bloody random.

In the shot, Banks is shown readying herself to catch a Charlotte Flair moonsault with Becky Lynch. The caption says she's, "among the WWE's new generation of women wrestlers", which comes across as odd considering what's currently a frosty relationship between employer and employee.
