Sasha Banks and WWE reportedly discussing new contract

Reports indicate that Sasha Banks and WWE have discussed a return to the company and a new contract, but that the situation is muddy between both sides at this time. Banks walked out of the company with Naomi and while both were WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Banks appeared at the C2E2 event in Chicago earlier this year under the name Mercedes Varnado. There is no indication as to whether or not Banks will continue her career away from the WWE. Last month, trademark filings for “Mercdes Mone,” “Mone’ Talks,” “Bank Mone,'” and “Statement Maker” were made, but it is unknown whether those are tied to Banks.

Sasha Banks is a former WWE Smackdown and Raw Women’s Champion. She’s also a two-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.
