The 5 Biggest Flops Since The 2016 WWE Draft

#3 Sasha Banks

None of Banks four women’s title reigns lasted over 30 days

On the opening video package of the first Raw after the draft, the final superstar shown wasn’t Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins or Charlotte Flair, it was Sasha Banks. Further validation came when ‘The Boss’ won her first Women’s Championship on the same show from Charlotte.

Banks and Charlotte headlined Raw numerous times, trading the Women’s title back-and-forth. The two became the first women to headline a PPV when their Hell in a Cell match went last on the titular PPV.

While Banks and Charlotte’s previous bouts had ranged from good to excellent, the HIAC match suffered from numerous miscues and botches. That bout marked the start of her downturn.

After losing the title for the third time, Sasha took a backseat. Banks managed to sneak in a fourth women’s title victory over Alexa Bliss but lost the belt back a mere eight days later.

Since the beginning of this year, Banks has been involved in a never-ending storyline with her friend/rival Bayley.

WWE has successfully done long burn storylines before - Savage/Hogan from 1988-1989 being a shining example, but this is not one of them. It seems WWE forget what they are doing week-to-week with both women, resulting in a convoluted mess of a storyline. At the time of writing, the two are friends again, but that will probably change as soon as this is published.

This storyline has become a joke. The sooner, Banks is clear from this, the quicker she can get her career back on track.
