Someone is behind this. Earlier this year, the WWE women’s division reached its pinnacle with a women’s match main eventing WrestleMania 35. Just a few years ago, the idea of something like that happening would have been impossible to fathom. The women’s division is still going strong and the return of Sasha Banks has made it better. Banks has a new attitude lately and that is the result of someone working with her on the character.

According to Wade Keller’s Post-Raw Show, Banks’ promo from this week’s Monday Night Raw and her character since returning have been heavily influenced by Paul Heyman. Since her return, Heyman has been a major part of Banks’ character and helped shape the entire thing. The story is meant to play off of Banks’ absence and unhappiness with the company over the summer in an effort to mix storyline and reality.

She has a reason. Check out Banks’ promo from this week’s Monday Night Raw:

Opinion: Banks’ promo was not the best received part of this week’s show but the character has worked well since her return. What matters most is having Banks look like the biggest threat to Becky Lynch and the Raw Women’s Title, which has been a success so far. What matters now is following up on it, which has not been WWE’s strongest suit over the last few years.

What did you think of Banks’ promo? What is next for her? Let us know in the comments below.
