5 Legitimate Reasons Sasha Banks Has To Be Unhappy With WWE

1. Bright Future?

Becky Lynch's WrestleMania victory created a bottleneck in both women's divisions, but this felt very much by design until after the upcoming Superstar Shake-up.

As a first opponent for 'The Man', Lacey Evans used Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live to give the new champion a celebratory kiss with a fist, but the feud relegated every other female to a queue that's suddenly doubled in size. Dana Brooke even said as much in a Raw promo, but that microphone time was at least better than the squash treatment Bayley received from a returning Alexa Bliss.

Banks has nothing to fear from competition and hasn't expressed concern in her abilities before, but could 'The Boss' just be mindful of the creative neglect potentially up ahead? Sasha suffered during leaner times in either women's league - what's to say she'll now be fine with so many others keen to nip in as Evans has done here?

As noted, Banks and Bayley were presented as dead issues with the belts - they weren't resuscitated afterwards. Sasha gleefully promised to defend the titles in NXT before the pair lost them, but upon assessing the main roster divisions, she may be best served disappearing back there full time just to make it on to Network specials.
