Punk\Sasha comes off as one in the same but ironically Punk gets praised for telling Vince to Fu** himself but she's being entitled.

The only thing about Sasha leaving that I'd miss would be her theme song.

I don't know who said it, but I've heard a line that says "the marks need to stay in the audience, not the locker room".
It's 2019, kayfabe is dead, nobody should be quitting over a scripted title change. You do what the script says. You are playing a character.

From what I've seen, she also loses her smile every time a fan asks to take a pic with her.

While I do like Sasha and Bayley and was surprised to see their title reign end so quickly, does anyone else find it surprising how awful they are on the mic still? I mean even Nia Jax sounds way more natural than they do at this point. I dont know. Sasha seems good with a stick.

I've heard Vince Russo say that when recalling a couple of wrestlers saying. It might have been said by a few, but Russo was the first one I remember saying. Can't think of who else though, but i have heard it from others than him

Alexa's tweet is professional and humble but ain't no way it's not a dig at Sasha too. I legit wish we knew just how bad they didnt like each other.

I always felt that Sasha was like a little kid, when something was going her way, she was really happy (being a Champion) but when she was told to drop the title, she would get all cranky and upset and phone it in.
I never liked Sasha Banks. I never saw the appeal to her. Her personality is ugly, she isn't a great worker, comes off sloppy, has these little temper tantrums when things don't go her way, like what would Eddie Guerrero think of her being upset about losing a title?? Eddie never complained about losing a title, because that's part of the profession they do.

I'm don't really enjoy Banks as a wrestler and she doesn't come across to me as a great person. But I cannot blame her at all for being upset in this situation. It's been widely reported that Banks and Bayley worked really hard behind the scenes to get the titles created, so how could they not feel some kind of investment?
From a creative standpoint, Bayley and Becky have both really lost their luster on the main roster. A strong run with the tag belts could have a) established the titles and b) regained some momentum. Rebuilding them for a few months as strong champs could create two strong characters who could be a contender for a heel champ or gain some momentum if they want to do a Sasha/Bayley feud. Having either of them strong also gives them options for continuing the 4HW vs 4HW feud if Rousey stays or Bazler comes up. And putting the belts on the Iconics now doesn't really give them any real momentum or heat. Even a dirty ending would have given the Iconics some heat, set up a return feud, and helped B&H save face. Instead they're just...there. And Banks may be feuding with Bliss for the 367,024th time.
I don't think the issue is that Sasha lost. It's that the loss sends them back to being adrift, while also not really doing any favors for the Iconics or the brand new tag belts. You could have done the exact same match and angle at Summerslam and all parties would have been better for it. It's the when and how, not the what. We also have ZERO idea what kind of promises or implications may have been made behind the scenes. Nobody responds well to being lied to or misled by their boss, if that's the case here.
I just don't know why WWE struggles to tell more than one or two stories at a time for the women's division.

I love the IIconics and I'm not a fan of Banks but I kind of agree that perhaps Bayley and Banks should have held onto the belts longer and the IIconics do feel like they are treated as more of a comedy team... they need building up a bit more to look like contenders I think.

Never liked Sasha, she seems like such an entitled b*tch who wants everything her way. - She's had probably the best Women's match in NXT History. - She was apart of the 'First' (New) Women's title match at WrestleMania 32. - She got a special entrance at said WrestleMania with Snoop Dogg... - She's had multiple reigns with the Women's Title. - She was in the first ever Women's PPV Main Event AND First ever Women's Hell In A Cell match. - Entered #1 in the FIRST EVER Women' Rumble match. - She was half of the FIRST EVER Women's Tag Champs. Yet she throws a fit when she's asked to drop the Titles to the only 'real' Tag Team on the Main Roster, she didn't even take the pin. She should know by now that nothing is set in stone, especially around WrestleMania and plans can change minutes before a match. You know she would have been pissed off the second she found out she wouldn't be in the first ever Women's main event at WrestleMania, probably half the reason she's doing all this right now. Plus, i wouldn't be surprised if she threw a fit over Peyton wearing Eddie inspired gear and having to lose to her. Because Eddie's her hero and only she can pay tribute to him. Props to Bayley though for dropping the titles, not throwing a fit, showing up the next night to lose to Alexa Bliss and staying professional in a business she loves. Despite those accomplishments, Sasha isn't a huge star and can't control her character and or the outcomes of her matches. She probably thinks she's the Hogan or the entire Kliq of the Women's division. I would think 90's HBK Qualifies more as entitled Hell he even told Bret after Bret Said He'd put him over that he wouldn't put Bret over.

GOOD! I never cared for her because of her crappy attitude. There is a reason why every title was taken away from her right away. She's unsafe, entitled, and not very good. I know one of the jabronis that fought against her and Bayley a few Raws ago and she told me that Banks walks around the backstage area just glaring at people and being the rudest person you can imagine.
I, for one, hope she doesn't get signed by AEW, but she will because that place will just be another "never had it WWE wasteland", I hope she never enters a wrestling ring again. Let her get humbled by nobody giving a crap about her.

Serena Williams syndrome... just wait for her to flash the race card and go off on the three white chicks main eventing mania. Massive chip on her shoulder over nonsense. Yeah she's been stuck doing crap for years now but does herself no favors with way she comes across or how she is received by everyone; there's a reason the fans and powers that be are apathetic at this point and it's all to do with gender or race.
