5 reasons why Sasha Banks was not at the Royal Rumble event

#1 Sasha turns heel at WWE Elimination Chamber

Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks and Bayley are currently enjoying their run as friends, but we know that The Legit Boss can turn into a heel in a matter of moments. We saw it when she returned after a hiatus and attacked Natalya, and the same can happen again at WWE Elimination Chamber.

The best of friendships have been broken in the WWE, and this one would have been no different. If she would have been a part of the Women's Royal Rumble match, there's a possibility that she would have been the winner of the match. But due to her absence, the company has the opportunity to build up a friendship storyline until 8th of March when WWE Elimination Chamber takes place.

It would be a sight to witness when Sasha turns on her best friend and challenges her for a match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania. These two have a great history, and so the company wouldn't need enough time to build it up because the fans will be heavily invested in this storyline. And if this plays out well, we would see a new Women's Champion of the blue brand at WrestleMania.
