Sasha Banks swerved WWE fans this week when she teased that she had some ‘bad news’ on RAW. During her promo, she said things like “every story has a final chapter’, with tears in her eyes. This made many fans think she was going to retire due to her injury issues. It turned out to be a ruse and Sasha was just pulling our chains.

According to a report from the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required but recommended), some WWE stars are unhappy with Sasha’s recent promo on RAW. The report says that the angle was looked at as being in bad taste by some and was disrespectful to guys like Daniel Bryan and Edge who actually were forced to retire in similar moments. Career-ending injuries are obviously a sensitive sunject to some backstage as they have seen their friends go through it.

There are comparisons made to Mark Henry’s fake retirement a couple of years ago but he used the moment to turn heel. We have heard from Lance Storm recently, who didn’t understand why Sasha would tease the fans like that as a babyface.

It should be noted that the issue isn’t with Sasha herself, but with WWE creative for using career ending injuries as an angle.
