5 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (June 24)

Downs

4. Women's Title Scene Very Quiet Right Now

Where is Sasha Banks? She hasn't been seen in an NXT ring since Unstoppable. It's been well over a month now since we've seen Banks in action and it's a little confusing, considering how her match with Becky Lynch set the internet on fire on May 20th. Of course, the last month of NXT programming was all taped on the same day, May 21st, and if Banks was forced to sit out that day - perhaps a slight physical issue from Unstoppable the night before, or another issue beyond fans' speculation - then that explains her absence, but according to cagematch.net, she wrestled the currently airing tapings, so why keep her off TV for yet another week? Well, NXT's strategy is their own, but Banks near-total lack of screen time in the last month has had a cooling effect on the Women's title scene. There's no indication of who her next major rival will be, or her feelings towards her match with Becky Lynch. The radio silence is frustrating because the title had so much momentum coming out of Unstoppable. Thankfully, according to the dirtsheets, we'll be seeing Banks wrestling shortly, and even putting her title on the line. It won't come a moment too soon.
