WWE Superstar Sasha Banks didn’t appear at last Sunday’s Royal Rumble PPV after having originally been scheduled to appear in the Women’s Rumble Match. She was instead said to have been replaced by Kelly Kelly, who took the spot for Sasha Banks who apparently wasn’t medically cleared to compete.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about Sasha Banks’ injury. He reported that Banks has been injured “for a while.” He went on to say that the fact that WWE hasn’t released any information on her injury leads him to believe that she could be dealing with a concussion.
“So Sasha is injured that’s why she wasn’t in the Rumble. I don’t know what the injury is or the length of anything like that, but she’s been hurt for a while which is why they’ve done all that stuff on SmackDown why every week there’s an excuse why she’s not wrestling Lacey Evans or anything.”
“It’s one of those things I think where every week they think she’s gonna get cleared, and she doesn’t. It was the same with the Rumble. She was scripted to be in the Rumble, but she was not cleared. So, yeah you know usually when there’s an injury and they don’t tell you what it is it’s more often than not gonna end up being a concussion and Sasha’s had a lot of them. I don’t know that’s the case at all, but I do know there’s an injury.”
However, Banks seemingly hinted back on the 17th that she might be dealing with an ankle injury.
