10 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Sasha Banks

7. The Truth

P*ssed off and happy to let the viewing audience know about it, Sasha Banks directly addressed the rumours that did the rounds from supposed sources regarding her conduct following The Boss N Hug Connection's WrestleMania loss.

The gossip at the time implied she had cried on the floor of the locker room and/or the hotel after The IIconics dethroned them earlier in the show. Refuting the claims entirely, her Chronicle at this point weaves the hearsay into Banks' self-confessed mini-meltdown with wrestling at large. None of the above formed the reason why she walked away, but helped craft a bigger picture problem chasing her from the thing she'd once adored.

Her Exhibit A now (as it was then) was a photograph of her watching the main event later in the show. On that and in this piece, she beams with pride for her friends' huge achievement. It all looked some way removed from reports of her post-match mood.
