She’s The Boss of something different. Sasha Banks caused a buzz on social media earlier today when she abruptly changed her Twitter handle. She is now using her real name, with no mention of WWE in the handle.
She went from “SashaBanksWWE” to “MercedesVarnado”. You can see the change below:
Banks has been away from WWE programming since her and Naomi walked out of the company on May 16 of this year. They were the Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time, but were unhappy with the direction that the company was going. On that day, they walked into WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis’ office with their suitcases in hand, placed their tag team championship belts on his desk, and walked out.
It had been previously reported that WWE was trying to mend fences with the two following the transition of power from Vince McMahon to Triple H, but nothing had been solidified.
We will continue to monitor the story and provide updates as they become available.
Editor’s Opinion:
I honestly wouldn’t read too much into this just yet, as she still has ‘Sasha Banks’ in her bio on her Twitter profile. However, you can’t help but think that this might be the end of the saga that is her time with the company.
