10 Wrestlers Who Knew They Were On The Way Out
5. Sasha Banks (WWE WrestleMania 35)
Sasha Banks was sick as sh*t with the day she'd had, the last two years of her WWE career, and the result she was about to be involved in as The Boss & Hug Connection entered for their Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania 35.
It was the last appearance she'd make until the night after SummerSlam.
Banks and partner Bayley had willed the belts into existence just two months earlier, promising to defend them everywhere against anybody to ensure their prestige right out the gate. They were about to drop them to a comedy act in their second pay-per-view defence.
Banks has been an extremely proud performer since breaking out in NXT. 'The Boss' was a gimmick, but the confidence underpinning the persona was always completely real. The creative collapse of the titles she fought so hard for in real life was too much to take when the fiction took over.
Disdain was painted across her face, but her hiatus after the show was a wise move. Mental health restored, she returned with more fire than ever, entering in to an awesome feud with her former partner in 2020 before headlining the 'Show Of Shows' two years on from this lowest of ebbs.
