Sasha Banks Creates A Stir With Response To Scott Dawson On Twitter

Sasha Banks has people talking today on social media!

With the reports that a number of WWE Superstars may be looking to get out of their contracts and head to greener pastures, more specifically The Revival who are said to have requested their release following their match on RAW this Monday against Lucha House Party (see that story here), another Superstar about to get a big opportunity has created a stir.

Sasha Banks, who will meet RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey next Sunday at Royal Rumble for the title, has a number of fans wondering what she’s thinking after a response to The Revival’s Scott Dawson on Twitter. Dawson would seemingly comment on the talk that he’s trying to leave the company, which prompted a pretty interesting tweet from ‘The Boss’:

EA’s Take: Other people are already running with this, so let’s break it down. Everyone’s already assuming she’s talking about wanting to leave WWE, but there’s another way you can look at this. Dawson was replying to a tweet from Sasha where she says she wants to be like The Revival after they had what’s being called an excellent match at last night’s Live Event in San Antonio (see the results here). The other outlets who are covering this are failing to include that part, which is pretty important:

Don’t matter where we go, we’re stealing the show. #FTR https://t.co/M4br9lIVEI

— Scott Dawson (@ScottDawsonWWE) January 19, 2019

So, Sasha gives props to The Revival for a great match. Dawson then replies with his tweet, which people are automatically going to assume is in reference to their release request. Fair assumption, but at the same time there could be some double meaning behind it. For example, “Don’t matter where we go, we’re stealing the show” could mean, “No matter what city we’re in, we’re stealing the show”. Therefore, Sasha’s reply of, “Take me with you!” doesn’t necessarily mean “out of WWE”. It could be that she’s saying, “Take me with you to that level of stealing the show”. Is it a stretch? Probably, but I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t play devil’s advocate.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
