Professional wrestler Sasha Banks is a five-time WWE Raw Women’s Champion and has won the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Also an actress, she debuted on Disney’s The Mandalorian, portraying the role of Koska Reeves.
She is one of the WWE’s biggest stars and the greatest women’s wrestler of all time. She performs on the SmackDown brand, but her future in WWE has remained uncertain after walking out of the ring.
Is She Released From WWE?
WWE has reportedly released Sasha Banks after being in a ring for a decade. The rumors of her release came on June 16 after the owner of Wrestling Inc., Raj Giri, tweeted:
“I’m hearing Sasha Banks has been released. I don’t know if it’s he requested it or if it was on WWE’s end.”

While Giri’s tweet has fueled Banks’ wrestling future, WWE, on the other side, has yet to confirm this matter.
Banks and her tag-team partner Naomi were suspended indefinitely without pay after they walked out from the stage on the May 16 broadcast of WWE Raw. The duo claimed that they weren’t respected as tag team champions. They placed their championship belts on the WWE Head of Talent Relation desk and walked out of the office.
It is not the first time Banks has been frustrated with WWE. Back in 2019, when she asked Vince McMahon for her release, she was denied her request.
Signs Of Her WWE Release
There are certain signs of Banks and her tag-team partner Naomi’s release from WWE. The first one is a tweet from Raj Giri, who once broke the news of Ric Flair’s departure from WWE back in August 2021.
The second one is from WWE itself. The wrestling company has removed Banks and Naomi’s official page, and their official merch has also been removed from the WWE store.
The removal of Banks and Naomi from WWE came after the months of reports of their contract expiration.
