Sasha was said to be negotiating with attorneys to break out of her WWE contract. Sasha was still listed on WWE.com’s active roster page as of Friday night, for what it’s worth.
F4WOnline.com’s Andrew Zarian had this to say regarding Sasha and WWE:
“In their minds, they could clone Sasha with somebody else and have her fit that role, and no problem. It’s now a role you’re playing. It’s a role with mid-level actors. Everybody’s a mid-level actor, except for a Roman Reigns, or a Brock Lesnar, or a Cody Rhodes. Those guys are the stars.”
