#2 Reason for Sasha Banks' absence in WWE

Sasha Banks has not been seen on WWE Smackdown since her SummerSlam match with Bianca Belair was scrapped. WrestlingInc has reported that Banks is cleared to compete and the reason for her absence is that the WWE creative is still coming up with something for her to do.

Sasha Banks was originally set to face Bianca Belair for the Women's title at SummerSlam. The match was nixed as Banks was not cleared to compete. Instead, Becky Lynch made her return and defeated The EST of WWE in 26 seconds to become the new champion.

The report also stated that The Boss was present backstage during SmackDown tapings and that it was a creative call not to use her or have her return right now. WWE are likely to wait for Extreme Rules before they have The Boss return.
