7 Times WWE Missed Opportunities With Sasha Banks
4. Her Short Title Reigns
Sasha Banks is a four time Raw Women’s Champion, a feat which sounds a lot less impressive considering her longest run with the belt clocks in at 27 days.
Her 2016 feud with Charlotte Flair saw the two women play hot potato with the brand new belt. Despite defeating The Queen three times to capture the championship, Banks never successfully defended her title. The decision by WWE Creative to have her drop the strap to the Nature Girl in her hometown of Boston during the main event of Hell in a Cell was an unnecessary stepping stone, dragging out a feud that should have culminated then and there.
Even more questionable was the decision to have Banks capture the title again from Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam 2017. A rivalry between The Boss and The Goddess shone with potential, both of them undeniable talents on the mic, yet the feud fell flat after Banks’ dropped the belt after a mere eight days. Not only did it make no sense, it further damaged Banks’ credibility as one of the biggest Superstars in the WWE locker room.
