Twitter erupts with predictions to Sasha Banks jumping ship to AEW amidst rumors of in-ring return
Former RAW Women's Champion Sasha Banks has not been seen on WWE television since May. The Boss recently teased that something exciting is going to happen in the coming weeks via Instagram. The news has gotten fans speculating about her debut in AEW.
In the month of May, before an episode of Monday Night RAW aired, the then WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi reportedly walked out of the company stating that they were unhappy with the creative decision.
Since then, Banks has not been seen in WWE. She and Naomi were recently present at the premiere of She-Hulk and also the Black Panther event.
On her Instagram story, Banks mentioned that her new journey is something she had been waiting for, for half a year.
“The Day is coming that I’ve been waiting for for the past 6 months” Sasha Banks said via Instagram story

@WrestlePurists No matter what happens, it’s pretty exciting
@WrestlePurists @dashoods1 She’s coming back to wwe
About damn time 🔥
@WrestlePurists I think it’s a WWE return
Many fans felt that the former multi-time WWE Women's Champion was signing with Tony Khan's promotion.
@WrestlePurists Banks is going to Aew
@WrestlePurists Not WWE y’all calm down 🤣
@WrestlePurists AEW
The wrestling world felt AEW needed The Boss as she could elevate the women's division.
Sasha Banks going to AEW would be transformative for that company and for women's wrestling globally if she also works Stardom/NJPW. It's wishful thinking but holy fuck how cool would it be.
Hot take but Sasha Banks joining aew would be just as big as punk and I'm not even a huge Sasha fan tbh
@THEBKSLAVE1969 she’d be the spark that division needs
@THEBKSLAVE1969 She’s the biggest name in women’s American wrestling. She may even be a bigger signing if it were to happen TBH.
Banks also mentioned on her Instagram story that she will be in Boston next week. This once again got fans more excited as AEW Dynamite will also be taking place in Boston next week.
@WrestlePurists I mean, AEW is in Boston next week 👀 https://t.co/0OWHojgDa3

As per the latest updates, the former WWE Women's Champion is still under contract with WWE, thus, people shut down these rumors stating that her contract is still not up.
People… Sasha Banks is not going to AEW or another company. First off, she is still under contract with WWE. Secondly, there’s no way HHH would just let Sasha go after she’s been one of the biggest female wrestlers in history. She would have been released already… let’s be fr🧠 twitter.com/fightful/statu…
@NufcBryan @ibeastIess WWE wrestler can't go to other wrestling company even in Sasha banks, she can't go until her contract is expired.
Do aew fans not realize that Sasha Banks is currently under contract with WWE? Seeing all the Sasha banks is all elite memes makes me laugh.
Some believe that her story has nothing to do with wrestling and could be a movie or television series project.
@WrestlePurists It's for a show or a movie she wouldn't ruin a return like that
@WrestlePurists this is definitely a Hollywood thing; she wouldn’t spoil a return appearance in WWE by telegraphing like this
@WrestlePurists She’s gonna announce the blockbuster movie she’s starring in next
@WrestlePurists Slow your rolls she's talking more Star wars work. they probably starting shooting on Ashoka and than the Bo Katan series. Mandalrian season 3 just wrapped that means we getting Koska Reeves in 3 different shows... not WWE sorry https://t.co/lTSUPsnR2c
