WWE pulled Sasha Banks out of the Mixed Match Challenge this season “due to injury” and she will be replaced as Bobby Lashley’s partner by Mickie James.
Whatever the injury is has been kept quiet and the only word is that she is “taking time off for a health-related issue,” according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. No word on how long she might be out.
Her last match was on September 9 at a WWE house show in Biloxi, MS (Bayley, Ember Moon, Natalya & Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss, Alicia Fox & The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan)).
