Sasha Banks Appearing At Wrestle Kingdom 17

The Boss is heading overseas. According to a report from PWInsider, Sasha Banks is expected to appear at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event next month. It is unknown in what capacity she will be used, if at all, during the show.

Banks has not wrestled since she and Naomi walked out on WWE before the May 16 episode of Raw. Both women were upset about the creative direction of their characters, and were subsequently stripped of the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

From the report:

Back in October, Varnado teased the idea of wrestling former WWE star KAIRI in STARDOM, which shares the same corporate owner as NJPW and recently did a crossover event with NJPW.  Banks has been training at a number of places in recent months in the United States and Mexico.

Banks recently made a number of trademark filings related to her given name as well as the terms Mercedes Mone’, Mone’ Talks, Bank Mone’, and Statement Maker under company name Soulnado, obviously preparing for her next move.

 

Editor’s Opinion:

While I am not a fan of hers, I know many people that are, and she undeniably has a very strong fanbase: both in professional wrestling and in pop culture. This could be a great thing for many people involved, and can potentially lead to a return to the ring, which I know a lot of people would be happy about.
