During Monday’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke more at length about the injury Sasha Banks suffered that we reported, saying that it might even be putting WWE’s SummerSlam plans in jeopardy.

 

“She’s hurt. It’s a significant thing. As far as how long … the [injury]they were keeping secret before was a knee injury. WWE … They’ll tell you some injuries and then others, they don’t want you to know. That’s the deal.

 

“But there’s no way of knowing right now what her status is. Obviously, Charlotte and Sasha were supposed to wrestle in Brooklyn for SummerSlam this year. It’s months away, so there’s still a very good chance that that’s going to happen. But you just never know with a concussion.”

 

The “knee injury” that Meltzer was alluding to was one that happened back in January that Sasha repeatedly denied on social media.

UPDATE

 

According to uproxx her next concussion evaluation is set for Saturday. It’s anticipated that she’ll pass and be cleared to return to the ring after that.

WWE Women's Champion Charlotte was recently interviewed by The Advertiser in Australia to promote the upcoming tour in the country this August. During the interview, she credited Emma for getting to where she is today.

 

"I've come up in this business because of Emma ... when I started, she was the girl who really helped me get to where I am today, 100 per cent," Charlotte said. "I remember watching Emma at a live special, just sitting there loving every moment, in absolute awe, thinking 'I want to be as good as her one day'."

So it looks like Sasha will be back in time for Summerslam if what Uproxx is saying is true.

 

Good, because unless it's Becky, The Huggable One or Paige, I don't want anyone else to beat Charlotte. If it's one of those other three besides Sasha though, I would not mind it at all.

I'm the same way, but as for Paige, she's been kinda jobbed out for a while.

Nikki's return is probably 50-50 at this point. If she isn't allowed to return and has to retire due to neck issues ala Edge, she'll sign a WWE Ambassador deal.

 

If she is cleared, I'd rather not see her face Charlotte for the title.

In light of the news of Smackdown going live, getting it's own roster, etc etc, i think all the Women should remain in the same brand. Do not bring back the Divas Title back. Do not move any women (unless they aren't active wrestlers) to Smackdown. I remember when the Smackdown Divas got a lot less opportunities to compete for the Women's Title and just had "catfight storylines"

 

You already know if they do draft Women, wrestlers like Paige and Becky Lynch are going to be moved to Smackdown.

 

EDIT: According to this rumor, http://www.diva-dirt.com/123631/speculation-wwe-women-to-be-exclusive-to-one-brand/ , I may get my wish

They aren't going to be bringing back to the Divas title, that's absurd.

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.

- Another WWE injury came during the recent European tour as Summer Rae was hurt, believed to be a concussion but not confirmed. Summer returned to action this past week but had been out since the April 23rd WWE live event in Malaga, Spain. She teamed with Tamina Snuka, Naomi and Lana but lost to Eva Marie, Paige, Alicia Fox and Natalya that night.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bayley is being set up to challenge for the NXT Womens Title in August at the Takeover event in Brooklyn, NY. Right now the plan is for her to face Asuka, unless they make the move to put the title on Nia Jax before August.
