Sasha Banks is currently in a feud with Nia Jax but she was dominated because of her knee injury. She is also exhibiting heel tendencies as of late during her segments with Bayley. The latest rumors suggest that "The Boss "could be turning heel very soon.
As recapped by WWE.com, Sasha lost to Nia at the Royal Rumble and on this week's Monday Night Raw. She was suffering from a knee injury but it did not prevent her from wrestling her massive rival. She was also comforted by her friend Bayley but turned down her help.
It should be noted that Sasha was rumored to be turning heel late last year. However, it did not happen since she was in a feud with Charlotte Flair for the Raw women's championship. But now that she cannot challenge Charlotte, she could be turning bad once again.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer (subscription required), Sasha is going to turn heel "fairly soon" and it could come at the expense of Bayley. If the turn happens, it will be her second heel run on the main roster.
The 25-year-old superstar was a heel when she made her debut on the main roster in 2015 as part of Team B.A.D. She turned face when she came off a long hiatus last year. She went on to win the Raw women's championship three times last year.
However, Sasha's run as champion is not really that great since she lost the title on pay-per-views. One of the possible reasons why the WWE is not pushing her as a top babyface is her proneness to injury, per Cageside Seats.
The report pointed out that Vince McMahon is hesitant to push "The Boss" because of the injuries she suffered in the past year. She had a concussion after WrestleMania 32 while also nursing a back and knee injury during her long feud with Charlotte.
The WWE is also very interested in pushing Bayley as the top babyface of the company. If she gets betrayed by Sasha, who is her best friend, it will build up a lot of sympathy and cheers for "The Hugger". The only problem in turning Sasha heel is that Bayley is going to be the only face in the women's division on Raw.
