Update On Sasha Banks & Bayley, Why They Were Upset

In the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer has a backstage update on why Bayley and Sasha Banks were upset at the results of WrestleMania 35. While many within the company knew about the planned title change, Sasha was not made aware that she and Bayley were losing to the IIconics until the day of the show. While the team didn’t know that they would be put onto different brands during the Superstar Shake-Up, they did know that the Boss and Hug Connection would be dissolving after WrestleMania.

According to Dave, it was a combination of not getting the long title reign they were expecting and knowing that the team was quickly being dissolved that led to the negative reaction from both performers. Sasha Banks is currently on leave considering her options, but Dave states that Banks was never scheduled for the TV tapings immediately following Mania even if she were still there. Bayley was also upset but has seemingly rolled along with the situation and her move to SmackDown.
