During a recent appearance on Corey Graves'
After The Bell podcast, Sasha Banks discussed reports that she's injured and the fact she didn't make an appearance at last month's
Royal Rumble PPV.
"If you guys watched Friday night Smackdown a couple of weeks ago, the evil un-role model, terrible mother Lacey Evans tripped me backstage, and she hurt my ankle," The Boss said in what was clearly an in-character interview. "I can barely walk ok. It’s terrible. I’m a person that always wants to be 125 percent, and right now, I’m just at 100 percent. You guys just have to wait."
Graves then asked Banks about her absence from the women's Rumble match and she once again gave a typical heel response for why she didn't compete to earn a shot at the Women's Championship at WrestleMania. "Honestly, I wasn’t supposed to be in it [Royal Rumble] anyway because I’m a leader," Banks said. "I want to give girls other opportunities."
"I didn’t want to win that match because I didn’t want to choose my best friend nor did I want to choose Becky Lynch because I don’t want to go to RAW. So I wasn’t going to be in the Royal Rumble regardless, and Bayley asked me to not come out for the match because she wanted to show people that she didn’t need my help. So I respect her."
There's currently no timetable for Banks' return but she'll hopefully be back in time for WrestleMania as The Boss has definitely had a run of bad luck when it comes to injuries in recent years.
