WWE Removes Sign Bashing Sasha Banks During Raw

Is this the latest sign (ahem) that Sasha Banks will return to WWE screens soon?

A WWE staff member leapt over the barricade to remove a fan sign on Monday's episode of Raw.

The sign in question said: "We Want Naomi Not Botcha Banks". That was clearly a shot at fellow exiled star Sasha Banks, but WWE's producers got word down to the floor quickly that the offending placard should be taken off camera.

Look closely, and you'd see one of the staffers jumping over the barrier during an in-ring promo skit involving Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka. The sign had been visible during Asuka's portion of the segment, but it was taken off the fan shortly afterwards.

Fans on Twitter have been sharing videos and pics of the incident.

In an accidentally fun moment, Bianca just so happened to say "Damage Control" whilst the sign was being removed. Well, she was actually talking about Damage CTRL - the faction formed by Bayley, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY, but the timing of it was tremendous.

Some other fans believe this is a sure sign (ahem) that Sasha will soon return to screens. That seems likely now that WWE is actively removing negative comments about her work.
