Sasha Banks Reveals Why She Was Out of Action for Over a Month

Sasha Banks was interviewed on Conversations with Maria Menounos and talked about the previously undisclosed injury that kept her out of action for over a month.

Sasha revealed that she had “post-concussion symptoms” and “couldn’t function.” While she was out, WWE only said that she was “taking time off for a health-related issue.”

Before the injury, Sasha’s last match was on September 9 at a house show in Biloxi, MS. She made her in-ring return on October 21 at a house show in Boston.

“I was having head pain and I couldn’t function. I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t sleep, and I’m like, I need to go get checked out. And I went to several neurologists and they pretty much told me that I have like, post-concussion symptoms, so just rest, rest, rest.

“And it became kinda scary. It was like, am I gonna make Evolution? I was really scared because we’ve been having a lot of concussion meetings with WWE and taking care of ourselves and our head problems. I’m like, I’m not OK, I can’t function, I can’t wrestle, I can’t drive, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. So I need to go get checked out. So, thank Foley, God, I’m OK, I feel back to normal, and I’m ready for Sunday.”
