The more I've learned about Sasha over the years, the more she comes off like a whiny, entitled brat who, despite being a great talent, is more trouble than she's worth. If this is yet again related to anti-vax bullshit, cut her loose and good riddance.

Well, yeah, but stuff like "Vince thinks they're too fat?", "Trademark issues?" and, like what came up for three pages for some reason in the Keith Lee one, "Undergoing gender transition?".

Great talent, but I get the impression she could be on her way out of wrestling altogether. I don't think she has the right attitude for the business, it seems like she's almost living her gimmick like Warrior and Michaels at their absolute worst. The anti-vaxx garbage that she has apparently bought in to on top of that doesn't do her any favors. With AEW cultivating a relatively drama-free environment, I’d have doubts they’d sign her even with the huge profile and talent boost she’d give to their roster. I doubt she’d go to Impact or any other indie promotion. So yeah, a parting of the ways with WWE could be the last we see if her in a ring (until both sides get desperate and she comes back, of course)

Because if she did either of those things, the trust question comes up. Could they trust her not to do that in AEW? Again that's if that's the reason for her not being there. If she's pregnant, or had to isolate due to a close COVID contact, then all of that is thrown out.

I do think that if they wanted to imply she was a diva of some kind, they'd just do what they did before and have Ryan Satin "leak" a story where she is one.
I mean, the last one was full of so many holes, it would be better on a sandwich than a news article but still.

Sasha has been a mixed bag for me for a long time now.
One one hand I get where she's coming from. Booking sucks. Creative sucks. Vince sucks. Working in WWE sucks and she wants out.
On the other hand, be professional, do what you're paid to do, etc etc.
I'm not touching the Covid stuff just yet. Other than her IG posts, the current situation is conjecture, and much like Keith Lee, I'll wait and see.
So much like Lee I'll just say I hope she's okay, and it all gets worked out.

IF it indeed is because of mask/vaccine issues then she can kick rocks. Honestly, she's starting to look like more trouble than shes worth

Perhaps they discovered Sasha's views about pineapple on pizza

I don’t really understand the relationship between Sasha and the WWE. Even before Covid, she would go home and sulk if she didn’t like her booking and they just bring her back and do the same stuff with her. It’s just a big circle. I think that HHH was largely vouching for her but his power seems to be dwindling and I expect the wrath of Khan to eventually come for Sasha. She’s too much of a headcase it seems.

I mean we don't know the EXACT reason why she was left off the card last night. Speculating she is a drama queen or something is questionable. And until the reason comes out, its kind of bad to try and paint her in a negative light.

Holy shit, I just wanted to read about Sasha being a baby, not be hit by stupid Facebook-like misinformation. You'd think even something virus related would come up that people would at least know better than to not just show their entire ass but be very adamant about it... but here we are... Like it wasn't even THE POINT. The point is regardless of what you personally think of the virus/masks/vaccine? Sasha's company which she works for has mandated masks be worn outside of on-camera work. And suddenly someone who has seemed very on the side of No Masks and No Vaccine, disappeared from WWE TV due to being uncleared for a non-medical issue. At a building itself, with a mandatory indoor mask mandate. It's hard not to speculate Sasha being a drama queen here for some specific reasons. Though until they're confirmed it is mere speculation. What I think should be discussed more is how they handled it. WWE had these rumors swirling that Sasha was pulling out for eight days and they f***ing advertised her until the literal match itself. Video packages and all. You could have at least said a "Mystery Challenger" to build up the potential for what would happen... and they didn't even do that. They false advertised Sasha until they couldn't anymore. That's such carny bullshit lmfao.

If it was still people shelling out $60 for the PPV day of the show then I can see being upset at false advertisement.

I'm more talking about the people who went to the show than the Network buyers but even then I feel like it's dumb to false advertise when you know someone isn't there without so much as even an angle. There were easy ways to get out of it and they just didn't and made it unnecessarily complicated. Granted this is mightily overshadowed by the f***ing match result itself killing everyone involved anyway... but still, I thought they handled it poorly.

Apparent babyish behavior on the part of Sasha/Mercedes aside, WWE could not have handled it any worse with what they chose to do to make up for it, but… that’s for another topic.
