Sasha Banks was a guest on Conversations with Maria Menounos and disclosed a head injury as a reason for being sidelined recently.
Banks said she was dealing with some post-concussion related issues, but said she’s ready to go this Sunday at WWE Evolution:
I was having head pain, and I couldn’t function. I couldn’t even drive, I couldn’t sleep, and I [thought] ‘I need to go get checked out’. I went to several neurologists, and they pretty much told me that I have post-concussion something something, [they said] just rest, rest, rest. It came [to be] scary; I was like ‘am I going to make it to [WWE] Evolution?’
I was really scared because we’ve been having a lot of concussion meetings with WWE, taking care of ourselves and head problems. But I was like ‘I’m not OK, I cannot function. I can’t wrestle, I can’t drive, so I need to go get checked out’ but thankfully, I’m OK. I feel back to normal and I’m ready for Sunday.
Banks was not seen on WWE TV for a few weeks, but returned last week at WWE RAW in Philadelphia. She is currently scheduled to team with Bayley and Natalya against The Riott Squad at WWE Evolution on Sunday.
