1. It’s Boss Time!

Sasha Banks

Four months after she departed unceremoniously, Sasha Banks made her return to Raw Monday night, and she made one hell of an impact.

Banks swaggered back onto Raw while Natalya was letting everyone know she had a dislocated elbow and was marking the one-year anniversary of the passing of her father. Sasha hugged Nattie and went to grab a mic, when she spun around and decked Neidhart. Banks then whipped off her purple hair to reveal a new blue ‘do, and then went to work on Nattie.

Becky Lynch stormed the ring to save, but she was quickly overcome and dropped by Sasha, who then took a steel chair and wore it out on the champ.

We didn’t get any answers for why Banks did what she did, but it’s safe to assume we’ll learn more by the next episode.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
