Sasha Banks has been in the headlines ever since rumors started floating that she will make her first wrestling appearance, post-WWE at Wrestle Kingdom 17. Now, New Japan Pro Wrestling’s parent company has seemingly ignited the fire by dropping a major tease hinting at her appearance.
The Legit Boss alongside her tag team partner Naomi famously walked out of Monday Night RAW back in May 2022. They cited creative differences and frustrations with their position in the company as the reason for the walkout. Since then, both Sasha Banks and Naomi have been doing work outside of WWE and making various public appearances.
Sasha Banks is heavily speculated to make an appearance at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event. Bushiroad CEO Takaaki Kidani recently hinted that Banks will be in attendance for the show during an interview with Yahoo Japan.
“There is a possibility that she will come to the Dome.”
The former WWE Women’s champion is also rumored to become a part of the IWGP women’s division. The event will see the KAIRA defending the IWGP Women’s title against Tam Nakano in a high-stakes showdown.
