While no one knows how severe the injury was yet (hoping it was something minor, both for her own sake and for Smackdown's), Sasha got hurt during her match with Charlotte tonight and was apparently carried out after the finish:

Oh for goodness sake:
1. I really hope she’s ok.
2. WWE, STOP DOING HOUSE SHOWS!! They’re not worth it right now.
3. If they lose Sasha for long, that division is screwed because there’s NO ONE else who has been built up well to challenge Charlotte.

Hopefully she's just tweaked something and there's no major tears or anything.
I was/am expecting her to win the Royal Rumble and finally get her first Wrestlemania win so picking up anything serious right now would be the worst timing possible for her.

If Sasha is out for any length of time SD's womens division is completely f***ed and the womens rumble is thrown into a f***ing tailspin since she was pretty much the obvious one to win it.
SD losing Sasha and Drew within hours of each other is just some universal bad f***ing luck.
Really hope it is nothing too serious and she did not tear anything.

The only one that could potentially be viewed as a challenger could be Asuka, and we have no idea what's even going on with her or when she'll be back

Really hope it is nothing too serious and she did not tear anything. Losing them and Roman for the time being. And Jeff Hardy released a few weeks ago. The roster is taking a beating.

If Sasha was going to miss Wrestlemania I think they'd have to bring back Asuka or Alexa to face Charlotte. Alexa makes sense with the way she left and Asuka would be a simple thing to do too with their history.

I mean who else do they have?
Naomi is trapped in this awful never ending Sonya feud.
Shotzi was turned heel for stupid reasons, and has not one a single match since then.
Shayna loses constantly. Toni freaking quit.
Etc.
Barring an NXT call up, it’s almost have to be Asuka or Alexa, IF they’re ready to go.

She was asked on Twitter when she would be returning and basically all but said it was up to WWE. That she was ready to go. While it could be Alexa, they kinda shot themselves in the foot by drafting her to RAW, so the only real viable solution is to have her win the Rumble. There is also the problem of Alexa still being incredibly injury prone. Asuka is still a free agent, so she has that at least. They could also call up someone from NXT, but the only name I see happening is Raquel and woo boy that match would be not good.

Wasn't WWE supposed to tone down house shows even pre-pandemic because they were struggling to make any money? The hell are they still doing them for?

She’s 0-4 so far.

Hope Sasha's OK.
As for Smackdown, they can totally build someone up in a few weeks. Just have someone challenge Charlotte to a match, Charlotte doesn't know who they are, throw a pie at them and boom, they're in Charlotte's head! A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED...

I'm going to sound like a jerk but WWE either tries to get in touch with Toni Storm quickly or they gotta call people from NXT up to the main roster soon.

Just turn Shotzi face again. When she was allowed to be a babyface and presented as a credible threat, the audience was responding well to her.

If the choice was between Asuka and Alexa.
You should probably go with Asuka considering Alexa is practically made of glass and you probably do not want to play that game of russian roulette.

Asuka is 40 and she probably won't be around for too much longer tbh. But regardless, lets wait and see how long Sasha will actually be out for, and how bad her injury actually is.

Fuller footage definitely adds the impression it's something with Sasha's left leg/foot, you can see her and Charlotte trying to use it as little as possible in the closing sequence:

Well, we should probably get news WWE is increasing Covid protocol soon, in unrelated news.
