7 Times WWE Missed Opportunities With Sasha Banks
2. WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
Remember when the WWE Women's Tag Team belts were a big deal?
The Boss 'n' Hug Connection becoming the inaugural champions at Elimination Chamber seemed to be some sort of redemption for Sasha Banks, who had floundered on the main roster during the previous year. Banks’ passion and dedication to the belts and their legacy was clear for anyone to see, which made the loss to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35 even more bitter.
This booking decision not only continued The Boss' streak of short title reigns but damaged her credibility as a defending champion. It must have been a kick in the teeth when compared to the success of her fellow Four Horsewomen who were living Banks’ dream of main-eventing WrestleMania. Banks and Bayley were allegedly promised a lengthy run with the belts, establishing them as stars in the women’s division and giving the Women’s Tag Team Championships more integrity. It’s easy to see why this booking calamity pushed Banks’ to request her release from the company, considering it was the latest in a lengthy run of wasted potential.
