A small role on Mandalorian isn't anything to scoff at, but I don't think people realize how difficult it is to get roles. Batista could barely get work when he left WWE, almost didn't get the tryout for Draw, and even after James Gunn liked him Gunn had to fight with Disney to let him keep Dave in the role. Cena had to do anything and everything to get bigger roles. Not saying Sasha couldn't do it, but I don't think she'd walk right out if WWE and start getting featured roles Which is why I said Rock will be there to open doors for her. He helped launch Cena up by getting him roles. She’s going to struggle of course if she does it alone. They all did. However, they have been able to open the door for her if she chooses to go that route because Rock helping her would made things a shit ton easier What’s Rock’s connection to Sasha, though? They never worked together or anything. Also, I don’t think Rock got Cena any of his big roles. He may have hired Cena to work on one of his own films he’s producing, though.

Since John Favereu is the one who reached out to her and this was through seeing her on non WWE related media that already gives her a leg up into Hollywood and she has the Snoop Dogg connection to.
It is not a matter of getting her foot into the door it is already in but whether she gets her an agent who can land her strong roles she needs to get with Jenna Ortegas agent lol because no one was talking about her all that long ago (I discovered her from Babysitter Killer Queen) and now she is in everything.

He may have hired Cena to work on one of his own films he’s producing, though. Cena's name was made with _Trainwreck_, iirc. After that, he was tapped for a number of "himbo" roles. He's basically a PC-brand (back from the late 80s and early 90s when their packaging design was almost better than brand-name) Mark Wahlberg. Cena's got _Peacemaker_ now, which will keep him going for a while. When Jon Favreau called Sasha for work on _The Mandalorian_, that's pretty much "You'll be fine in Hollywood." She'll be alright wherever she lands.

Andrew Zarian just said on the Mat Men Podcast that while he can’t confirm Sasha’s been released, he’s heard her lawyers are on the case to try and get it done.

If true man I'm wondering what her name will be. Sasha Banks just rolls off the tongue as a catchy name. One of the few times the WWE name machine worked. Also if AEW hires her theyre rolling the dice on her being a complaint away from bouncing as well. She used to go under Mercedes KV so maybe she'd go back to that name?

Mercedes KV vs. Mercedes Martinez?

During Royal Rumble it's theoritically possible that Nikki Bella could face Nikki A.S.H./Cross...(or was at least, also I may've spelt a word wrong in this post so feel free to correct my spelling lol)

Mercedes Banks is a baller name I would expect her to go with if she does indeed jump ship to AEW and it combines both her previous names.

Let her go.
Have her pay her way out of the last few dates she may owe, but let her go.
WWE has too much on it's plate right now than to need a big fight with a very vocal, media savvy woman.
If she goes to AEW, I think she'll end up a bigger poison chalice in the long run than anything else, but just let her go.
It isn't worth the fight if the relationship is now that broken.

The only wrestling person that I know Cena has said helped him was Batista. From what I remember James Gunn originally called Dave for Suicide Squad but he was busy so Batista gave him Cena's number.

Saw Sportskeeda's headline about "Superstar confirms they were released" with the banner of Sasha... clicking the link it was about Two Dimes... and they added some second unrelated story about Sasha being seen with normal colored hair (Which shouldn't be surprising as she's stated she wears a wig.)
In case anyone is wondering why that's a site we don't let people use as primary sources <_<

I'm assuming it'll be something like that if she chooses to work indies or anything (if this is true). Bossy Banks
