5 Possible Reasons Why Sasha Banks Wants To Leave WWE

After receiving stupendous acclaim for delivering one of the greatest WrestleMania's of all time, WWE are now back again on the headlines with some major news. The news involves Sasha Banks and her current position with Vince McMahon's billion dollar company. In my humble opinion, Sasha Banks is one of the greatest female performers to ever grace the squared circle, if not the greatest.

She may not be the prototypical WWE Superstar, but her incredible agility and solid work ethic proves that she is definitely one of the most talented female competitors in the world. Much to the dismay of legions of fans who love Banks, the former NXT Women's Champion was rumored to quit WWE during the WrestleMania weekend due to legitimate creative differences.

The creative team's plan to put the Women's tag-titles on The IIconics did not bode well with Banks and Bayley, as The Boss' ongoing absence from Monday Night Raw and Wendy Williams Show being closely monitored.

It's understandable why Banks has been frustrated. The Revival, on the other hand are also dealing with a similar situation, but with The Legit Boss making major headlines, there could be more to story than meets the eye.

Let's find out.

#1 Not getting a decent run with the Women's Tag-Team Championships

Is this playing a factor?

Sasha Banks and Bayley made history at Elimination Chamber 2019 when they became the first women's tag-team to hold the Women's Tag-Team Championships.

Although the fans were really skeptical about their creative direction heading into WrestleMania 35, the historical win ignited some hope within the WWE Universe.

Furthermore, the rumors of Trish Stratus and Lita returning back for one more shot at The Show of Shows coerced the fans to be hyped and enticed at what they were being presented.

Unfortunately, the plans changed and the company went forward with The Boss n' Hug Connection slugging it out with three underwhelming pair of forces for the tag-team gold.

Whilst the match fell flat at visual extravaganza, booking The IIconics to walk out of New Jersey as the new Champions did hurt Banks' credibility big time.

Considering that she attempted to quit WWE at WrestleMania, it seems that her loss at The Grandest Stage of Them All will play a pivotal role on whether she chooses to stay or leave.

#2 The opportunity to do something special with All Elite Wrestling

Will she go All Elite?

It's undeniable that WWE have not been able to utilize Sasha Banks to her maximum potential. The former Raw Women's Champion has suffered the wrath of the company's predictable booking time and time again.

Judging by the way she has been presented for almost two years, the inception of All Elite Wrestling may have provided Banks with a mental boost to walk out and pursue her dream somewhere else.

Considering that she has now unfollowed WWE on Twitter and started following AEW, the rumors of Banks jumping ship to the recently created promotion are running wild.

Furthermore, AEW's promise to change the wrestling world may fare well with Sasha Banks who definitely needs a lot of creative freedom to propel her character to the very top of the industry.

Charlotte and Becky Lynch's meteoric rise has sidelined Sasha Banks away from the spotlight and with All Elite Wrestling all set to go on floors soon, this could play a legitimate factor in Banks wanting out.

#3 Vince McMahon may never her as a legitimate main-event star

This is disappointing

Analyzing how the entire Sasha Banks main roster run has transpired, one thing is for sure - she may never be the main-event star the fans desperately wanted to see her become.

It's a travesty that The Boss has never been impelled to the top of the women's division despite churning out classics with the likes of Charlotte, Bayley, and even Ronda Rousey.

Her heel work down in NXT solidified her as the most conniving villain under Triple H's supervision, but the same cannot be said about her presentation on the main roster.

Her entire storyline with Bayley during the course of 2017 and 2018 coerced us into believing that the former NXT Women's Champion would turn heel soon, but all we got was an extremely confusing storyline involving two of the most talented female competitors on the planet.

Since her injury concerns back in 2016 had the company worried, the decision to not push her may very well be Vince finding her more injury-prone.

#4 The rise of Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Ronda Rousey will keep her out of the equation for a long, long time

Will Banks ever get her due?

Before we dive deep into this section of the article, let me throw some names out there. Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Lacey Evans.

Excluding Lacey Evans, the other four female competitors have been presented as real main-event superstars and with the division really heating up after WrestleMania 35, it would be a long, long time until the company sees something special in Sasha Banks.

The Boss has certainly enjoyed 4 title reigns as the Raw Women's Champion, but unfortunately she hasn't held the gold for almost two years now.

She dropped the title to Alexa Bliss in August, 2017 and then went absolutely nowhere. Her latest title shot came against Ronda Rousey at the Royal Rumble and while Banks did prove her mettle by churning out a classic with The Rowdy One, the company didn't present her as a superstar coming out of the match.

With names like Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane, and Ember Moon also destined to get some titanic opportunities, it seems like Banks may get sidelined from the spotlight for a long, long time.

#5 No heel run as a singles performer despite so many teases

Banks is genuinely passionate

There's no denying that most of the performers that are currently working for the WWE have scratched and clawed their way to the top of the industry.

One of them is Sasha Banks. The former Raw Women's Champion cemented herself as an uncompromising heel down in NXT which eventually ignited a rivalry for the ages between her and Bayley.

Unfortunately, The Boss has not been presented in the same realm under Vince McMahon. Legions in the WWE Universe expected her to turn heel when she was locked in a confusing storyline with Bayley, but it ended up being very disappointing.

The 27-year old superstar is genuinely passionate about professional wrestling and has often admitted to be more of herself when working as the antagonist.

Considering that her babyface character has turned pretty stale, not really receiving a heel run may also play a very decisive factor in Banks being genuinely unhappy with Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.
