WWE have done a dreadful job of capitalising on the star power Sasha Banks had coming out of her career-defining feud with Charlotte Flair on Raw in 2016. Since then, she's been a background figure and even played before fan silence at her worst moments. Evolution then was a shot at redemption for the 'Legit Boss'.

Achievement unlocked.

Banks looked in her element as she performer a tribute nod to childhood fave Eddie Guerrero and won the match with a Frog Splash. Credit must go to her partners Bayley and Natalya, as well as The Riott Squad, too for refusing to let their six-woman tag become a p*ss break for fans.

They knocked lumps out of each other in pursuit of some headlines. Now, post-Evolution, it's time WWE started treating Sasha properly again. Natalya, as an older head, and Bayley, who has just about survived her own problems, will take care of themselves, but Sasha needs a little more recuperation.
