WWE Addresses Sasha Banks Injury

As noted, Sasha Banks is currently dealing with a back injury and has subsequently been pulled from WWE live event advertisements until September 23rd. In the official preview for Raw tonight, WWE.com did mention that Banks suffered a back injury during her match against Charlotte at SummerSlam, though it is believed she came into the match with existing back issues.

Furthermore, Dave Metlzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that the original plan in WWE was not for Banks to win and lose the title so quickly, so the injury she is suffering from is legitimate and not part of a story line.

As noted, new WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor and new WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America earlier today. Below is footage of the WWE stars’ appearance, during which Balor talks how long he’s been in the business and what it means to be the first Universal Champion, and Charlotte talks the honor of being WWE Women’s Champion:
