5 Legitimate Reasons Sasha Banks Has To Be Unhappy With WWE
2. The WrestleMania Ramifications
Was it worse that The Boss & Hug Connection lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, or, that nobody really cared? Or, that fans were more than happy to receive comedic coupling The IIconics as the new titleholders?
A lousy inaugural stint for the pair ended at the 'Show Of Shows', but the company have already taken a gamble on the future credibility of the prize by anointing Billie Kay and Peyton Royce just two months later.
Kay and Royce are talented beyond their patter-heavy promo game, but there's dangerous precedent for this in the past. A dragged-up Harvey Wippleman won the Women's Title during one of the many dark periods for the title that a golden generation led by Trish Stratus and Lita failed to recover. The Intercontinental and United States Championships haven't ever clawed back credibility lost to countless lame duck runs despite every new champion often literally promising to do just that.
Banks has been a prideful performer since breaking out in NXT - 'The Boss' is a gimmick, but the confidence underpinning the persona is real. The creative collapse of the titles she fought into existence may be a left turn too far.
