It'll be one of those 'Bizarro World' moments when Sasha Banks (presumably as Mercedes Varnado) appears at New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 17 show next month. Most would've expected her to make a WWE return under Triple H by now, but it hasn't happened/doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Can you recall her final televised WWE match though? Think long and hard about it, then prepare to say 'oh...that' when you find out it was a tag-team bout with Naomi vs. Natalya and Shayna Baszler on the 13 May SmackDown. In fact, some might've forgotten that Nattie and Baszler were even a tag-team full stop.

Banks worked two more house show bouts then walked out come the following week's Raw. If this is a wrap on her WWE career after all, then working some eight-minute tag match on Smackers must be considered quite the drab ending.

Surely one of the biggest female stars of her generation deserves better than that?!
