The Blueprint confirmed her exit from the Stamford-based promotion a few hours before she showed up at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event. This was her first wrestling appearance since walking out of WWE back in May 2022.
However, this wasn’t the first time she had creative differences with the company. At WWE WrestleMania 35, Sasha Banks disappeared from the company after losing a women’s tag team title match at the Showcase of the Immortals.
On Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer recalled bumping into her at an airport in Mexico. The ECW legend disclosed that the Boss was there on her own dime to work on her Lucha skills.
Sasha Banks will wrestle former WWE star KAIRI in February
Mercedes Mone showed up at Wrestle Kingdom 17 moments after KAIRI retained the IWGP Women’s Championship against Tam Nakano. When they first shook hands, the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion laid out KAIRI.
Sasha Banks then announced that she would challenge the Japanese star for her title on February 18 at the Battle in the Valley event in San Jose, California. This will be the former NXT Women’s Champion’s first match since May when she defeated Natalya and Shayna Baszler in a tag team match.
