WWE’s 10 Worst Choke Artists
2. Sasha Banks
The shadow of Bayley's catastrophic main roster run may just have loomed large enough to mask the failings surrounding some of her once-proud NXT colleagues, particularly in the case of Monday Night Raw mainstay Sasha Banks.
As with the aforementioned stumbles for 'The Hugger' and the 'Irish Lass Kicker', 'The Boss' hasn't managed expectations since winning the WWE Women's Title for the first time on the post-draft edition of the flagship show. Her mutiple title victories over Charlotte Flair in 2016 created an unpleasant see-saw effect that followed both women throughout the remainder of the year.
Damaging the title in the process, the pair traded the gold six times on television and pay-per-view throughout the year. Whilst the order of the changes resulted in Charlotte assembling a weird pay-per-view winning streak (that was also horribly mishandled), the repeated big stage losses made Sasha look a fool.
And remarkably, the record has continued, and even been woven into storylines. Ahead of her show-closing loss to Alexa Bliss on this week's edition of Raw, commentators and even Bliss herself noted just how lousy Banks is at defending her title. And then proved it true with the perplexing outcome.
Less the division's dominant female, she now looks like a one-woman empire erected on pathetically frail foundations.
