The last time we saw Sasha Banks on a WWE show, she was losing the SmackDown women’s championship to Bianca Belair in the main event of WrestleMania 37.
She took a break after, winning an ESPY Award for that match in the meantime.
Because Banks took that time off, there was naturally an assumption that when she returned, she would do so to once again challenge Belair for the title she lost.
