Rumor Roundup: Backstage Note On Sasha Banks & Bayley’s Returns, WWE Re-Branding PPV? More

1) Backstage Note On Sasha Banks & Bayley’s Returns

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Sasha Banks is expected to return from injury in March. Bayley is expected to return in late February at best, but she is more likely to be back in March.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“Banks is expected back just in time for Mania, but whether with her out for so long they go in another direction is also a possibility. There is no obvious direction because nobody else on the Smackdown side has been pushed big.

If Bayley can return, she’s a big enough star. Bayley’s return from reconstructive surgery could be as early as February but is more likely March. Banks’ return is also mid-March.”

My Take:

  • Personally, I am still hoping that WWE is lying about Sasha’s injury, and she will come back to win the Royal Rumble. Bayley would also be a great choice. I am still holding out hope, despite the rumors.
