Today we’ll be going over an injury update for Sasha Banks, more rumors on the Brock
Lesnar and Roman Reigns story, latest with Becky Lynch and much more
Let’s start things off with some unfortunate news coming from a recent WWE live event
Fans in attendance noticed that Sasha Banks was legitimately hurt during her match
The referee threw up the dreaded “X” signal to the back and if you know what the means
then you already know that it’s never a good thing
The referee throwing the X with their arms is a way of signifying to everyone backstage
that a superstar is legitimately injured.
Not a storyline injury, not selling the outcome of a match, but that symbol means that they
are hurt for-real
So that’s what the referee did for Sasha Banks when she went down during this live
event show
It was a match with Charlotte Flair.
No one knows exactly where the injury occurred at during the match, but thanks to fan recorded
footage of the match, some fans seemed to have found the possible moment of the injury
Charlotte seemed to be dropping sasha for a backbreaker sort of move, but Sasha’s
leg got caught under and her ankle also seemed to have rolled in a bad direction, telling
from the footage
Sasha stayed down on the mat while the referee threw up the X
Medical staff came out and assisted in walking Sasha to the back, she was unable to walk
under her own power following this injury
So it definitely had fans extremely worried and terrified
It looked bad, it looked like a knee or lower leg injury, but hopefully it turns out that
it was just a light tweak and or sprain and she’s able to bounce back in a few weeks
Everyone is expecting a massive 2022 for Sasha Banks and the last thing anyone would wanna
see is a freak injury like this
Sasha did take to Twitter to address the injury scare and provided an update to how she was
doing
Sasha took to Twitter and had this to say, quote
“I’m good.
Thank you for the love always” end quote
despite how bad it looked and how she wasn’t able to walk after the match, Sasha is saying
that she’s all good
So that’s great to hear, looks like it was just an injury scare, but thank goodness it
was nothing serious, nothing that requires surgery
Hopefully we see Sasha Banks back in action soon as she recovers from this minor injury

So following Day 1 and all the twists and changes that show had, we had a lot of questions
about the future of Roman and Brock’s story, is it over with or will we still revisit it?
Well new reports have come out over these last few days that seem to be teasing what’s
next for the story
According to these reports, WWE’s Wrestlemania plans for Brock and Roman were unaffected
by the Day 1 change
The report also goes onto say that, if anything, the changes have just enhanced the story even
more
So assuming that’s true, that sounds very interesting, what could it mean?
Sounds like this could possibly turn out to be similar to the
‘world champion versus world champion’ fan theory that we talked about a few days
ago
Had Roman not missed the show, maybe Brock just defeats Roman for the Universal Title
and then Roman would’ve gotten his rematch at Wrestlemania, leading to that main event
But now with Brock Lesnar as WWE champion and Roman Reigns still as Universal Champion,
there may be even more hype and anticipation for them to cross paths again
We also never got the payoff for Paul Heyman’s story, so that’s something they can use
again in this Wrestlemania meeting
If a unification, winner-takes-all sort of match is what they’re planning, maybe it’ll
look similar to Wrestlemania 35’s main event, where you had both women’s champions and
the Royal Rumble winner in that main event match where everything was on the line
So same thing here, it would Brock, Roman, and whoever the Royal Rumble winner would
be in this massive Wrestlemania main event match that sort of mirrors what they did in
2019 with Charlotte, Becky, and Ronda
Last time there was a unified WWE world champion was actually with Brock Lesnar himself in
2014
Brock was the last superstar to hold both titles before WWE unified both titles into
one the following night on Raw
So you’re talking about 8 years since we’ve seen a duel WWE world champion
This would be massive and historic Wrestlemania main event, no doubt about that
And whoever the winner of that match might be, maybe it’ll be similar to what we saw
with Becky Lynch in 2019
Maybe they’ll walk around with both titles for a bit, drop one of the titles, and then
still keep the other title
Exactly like Becky’s reign.
Becky’s duel reign was pretty short lived, but she did hold onto that Raw women’s title
after that Wrestlemania main event all the way until her pregnancy announcement
So maybe WWE would have something special here if they decide to go this direction
Build up this massive main event to crown a unified champion and then that one champion
can start appearing on both Raw and Smackdown since they have both titles
So like the reports said, this entire Day 1 cancellation may have been a blessing in
disguise and actually enhances that Wrestlemania story
Instead of it being another generic rematch for the Universal Title, now it’s this massive
match for both world titles in WWE
So things are getting very interesting here with this story
Roman and Brock may stay apart over these next few weeks here, but if all these fan
theories and rumors are true, they’re on another collision course to meet once again
in arguably their biggest match so far

The Becky Lynch and Ric Flair story once again has a small update to it
Everyone knows about the on going rivalry between Ric Flair and Becky Lynch over the
rights to the nickname “The Man”
Becky said that she’ll ignore everything Ric Flair says from now on
But Becky sent off a cheeky subliminal shot towards Ric Flair on Twitter after Day 1
The Migos were special guest for the Day 1 event and made an appearance during the show
Becky Lynch posted a picture with The Migos and said, quote
“Next song is ‘Big Time Drip’”.
end quote
Now to understand the context here, Migos member OffSet, had a big hit song titled ‘Ric
Flair Drip’
It was a catchy hit track that even featured Ric Flair in the music video himself, the
song was even featured in WWE 2K’s soundtrack that year
So Becky was taking a little shot there at Ric by saying that Migos would be making a
song about her too
Ric Flair loves jumping at Becky Lynch for any little thing, so he took the bait and
responded in a tweet himself and had this to say, quote:
“The Mood Is Night & Day!
One’s Real & One’s Make Believe!
She’s Big Time, But There’s No Drip, And There Never Will Be!
And I Thought She Was THE MAN, But I Guess Not Because They Don’t Own It!
HA!
When Are You Going To Give Up Becky Lynch.
You’re So Far Behind!”
End quote
Strangely enough, Ric Flair deleted that tweet shortly after posting it
WWE has stopped using The Man nickname for Becky Lynch, she’s now going with ‘Big
Time Becks’ as her main nickname, but was the nickname changed because it’s just a
new era for the character and was it changed because of the Ric Flair situation?
It’s not crystal clear, but according to Ric Flair, they stopped using it cause he
has the rights
So this is one of those stories that will never end, we’ll definitely hear more from
these two in the future for sure
