More Details on Why Sasha Banks Missed the Last NXT Tapings
As noted, WWE NXT Womens Champion Sasha Banks did not appear at last week’s TV tapings following Takeover Unstoppable.
According to The Wrestling Observer, Banks suffered some type of shoulder or arm injury at Takeover, although previous reports suggested Banks was not injured.
We do know that Banks’ fiance Mikaze, who is the new WWE NXT seamster, was knocked unconscious during the TV tapings last week, and it’s being said Banks went to the hospital with him after the injury. Banks was scheduled to wrestle a match which would have been on the 4th episode of the tapings, but did not as she left to be with Mikaze.
It’s possible Banks went into her Unstoppable match against Becky Lynch already injured, or she might have suffered it at the live special, but we will continue to update this developing story as more information becomes available.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
