Sasha Banks lost her WWE Women's Championship to Charlotte at SummerSlam last night, in a move that surprised many of the WWE Universe.

PWInsider are reporting that Banks is to have some time off to deal with a number of niggling injuries and that the title change has been in the works for around a week. A number of rumours began to float around last night that Banks may be suspended or injured during the match itself, but it would seem there is no foundation to those rumours.

Banks has since been removed from all upcoming WWE live events through September.

Banks' injuries should provide some worry for big fans of The Boss however, as the injury cloud is one that has hung over her ever since she arrived on the WWE main roster in summer 2015. Earlier this year the word was that Vince McMahon himself wasn't too high on Banks, seeing her as 'another Daniel Bryan' in that she was injury prone.

Banks is due to return on September 23rd at the WWE live event in Moline, Illinois. With Banks out and Paige injured, who does this leave to challenge Charlotte on the main roster?
