Lynch's RAW promo seemingly made a reference to Sasha Banks

Becky Lynch seemingly referred to Sasha Banks as 'someone' on tonight's episode of WWE RAW, and Wrestling Twitter had quite a mixed reaction to the same.

Many of Sasha Banks' fans have lost hope about her possibly returning to WWE. The Boss was last seen on WWE RAW in May 2022, when she walked out of the show with Naomi.

On tonight's episode of WWE RAW, Becky Lynch confronted Damage CTRL and took massive shots at her former rival Bayley. The Man called Bayley a fraud and a coward.

She then told Bayley that The Role Model felt comfortable in "someone else's" shadow, in what was seemingly a Sasha Banks reference.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Fans quickly noticed the reference and took to Twitter to react to it. Wrestling Twitter was divided over Banks being referred to as 'someone' on the red brand.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks were once arch-rivals on the main roster

Lynch and Sasha Banks aren't exactly strangers. The two women were the top female stars on WWE NXT and the main roster for years. They have faced each other on various occasions. The duo's last singles encounter happened in late 2021, with The Boss picking up a big victory over The Man.

Banks and Lynch have massive respect for each other, judging by their out-of-character interviews in the past. Shortly after the latter made her big return at SummerSlam 2021, Banks spoke with the New York Post and made it clear that she couldn't wait to wrestle The Man:

"To be a WWE Superstar alone is hard, but to be a woman in the game, but to be a brand-new mother, wow, she's on a whole different level, a whole different fire is in her eyes because she's not just fighting for herself. She's fighting for her daughter. Her hunger is just up there. I can't wait to fight this new Becky Lynch."

There's no sign that Sasha Banks will return to WWE soon. Stranger things have happened in WWE in the past, though. Fans will love to see Banks and Lynch feud again if the former returns to WWE somewhere down the line.
