It’s been rather quiet on the WWE, Sasha Banks, and Naomi conflict for a minute, but according to a new report from Raj Giri, it appears that Sasha Banks has been released by WWE. Giri wrote “I’m hearing Sasha Banks has been released. I don’t know if it’s he requested it or if it was on WWE’s end.” Banks has yet to comment on the situation but we’ll keep you posted when that happens. As for what’s next for Banks if this ends up being accurate, a 90-day non-compete is likely to be in play as with other releases in the past, and so after 90 days, Banks (whose real name is Mercedes Varnado) can go to whatever company she chooses, with companies like AEW and Impact Wrestling being among the most expected destinations.

I spoke with Raj this afternoon and asked WWE about this. As of this evening, they said they hadn’t heard that, and talent relations didn’t seem to know.Not saying that it didn’t or isn’t happening, but this is what I’ve heard so far when I asked. Raj has good sources https://t.co/cnBADkuFyg
