WWE & Sasha Banks Agreed She Won’t Wrestle Until 2023 As Part Of Release

Sasha Banks hasn’t been on WWE television since May 2022, when she and her tag partner Naomi walked out of the arena before RAW began. The duo was upset with their booking as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. It has now been reported that Sasha Banks and WWE have decided that as part of her release, she won’t wrestle again until 2023.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer has disclosed details about WWE’s failed contract negotiations with Sasha Banks. According to recent reports, Sasha Banks’ departure from WWE was discussed months ago. Meltzer also said that WWE and Sasha Banks were far apart in terms of money, but she agreed not to wrestle for any other company until 2023.

WWE directly wouldn’t say anything about her but those in the company over recent months had said the sides were not close on money.

She and WWE reached an agreement in the summer regarding her leaving and the agreement was they would release her to be a free agent rather than freeze her deal, but she couldn’t do ‘anything with wrestling until the start of 2023.’

In the fall, with the regime change, she was back in negotiations to return and it was considered that it was close to a done deal, aside from the money figure, and the two sides ended up being far apart.

Sasha Banks reportedly requested a very high salary for a WWE women’s wrestler. Dave stated that WWE would not comment directly on her, but people within the company have stated in recent months that the sides were not financially close to each other.
