Sasha Banks Reportedly Scheduled for Injury Evaluation This Weekend, Backstage News on the Status of Banks’ SummerSlam Plans

May 25, 2016

As noted, Sasha Banks is currently sidelined with a concussion which she suffered at the May 15th WWE live event during a 6 woman tag team match.

According to both Wrestling Observer Radio and Squared Circle Sirens, the injury was a “freak accident” and occurred when the referee in the match accidentally hit Banks with a stiff knee to the head, resulting in a concussion.

In an update on the story, Uproxx is reporting Banks did indeed suffer a concussion, and she is expected to undergo another evaluation this Saturday. Banks is expected to pass the evaluation and be cleared to return to the ring, however, the injury is said to be significant. So much so that Dave Meltzer noted on this week’s Wrestling Observer Radio that the injury might jeopardize plans for Sasha Banks at SummerSlam this year.

WWE originally wanted to do a Banks vs Charlotte Womens Title feud at SummerSlam, but those plans are currently up in the air.
