Just in case you were wondering if Greensboro fans were being annoying on Monday when they started chanting for Sasha Banks during the Becky Lynch/Dana Brooke match Sasha has not wrestled on television in more than four weeks. She last won a televised singles match on the Raw after WrestleMania.

Sure, WWE might be trying to save Sasha for a feud with Charlotte in the summer, but keeping her altogether off TV (shes still wrestling house shows, so shes healthy) is just ridiculous. Banks is probably the most popular woman on the roster right now, and she has been only spotted in the background or with New Day and Dolph Ziggler in a pizza commercial.

Combine this with a directionless Paige, and its a wonder that the womens division is doing decently right now. Maybe with the rash of injuries (Emma, Tamina and Naomi) well see the Boss in action again soon.
