It has been a while since Sasha Banks made her long-anticipated return to WWE TV. The Boss came out on the post-SummerSlam episode of Monday Night Raw and hugged her injured friend Natalya, only to turn on her mere seconds later and launch a ruthless beatdown on a helpless Natalya. "The Man" Becky Lynch came down to the ring and got into a brawl with Banks, which resulted in the latter beating the tar out of Lynch with a series of hard-hitting chair shots.
