Fans Jumping To Conclusions As Sasha Banks Changes Twitter Profile

Social media is buzzing that Sasha Banks may have teased that her status with WWE has cleared up thanks to an update to her Twitter bio. It's certainly not a given that she's done with the company, but that she changed her handle could indicate that she's moving on, at least that's the assumption many fans are making today.

You can see below that Banks has officially changed her Twitter handle to @MercedesVarnado. This is her real name and what she'll likely go by when working on future projects such as her acting and aspiring music career. What's caught a lot of attention is that it used to be @SashaBanksWWE. Clearly, a number of fans have jumped to the conclusion that this means she's done as an active performer and that she won't be making a return to the company.

Reports about Banks' status with WWE have varied in the last few weeks to months. Some outlets, including WrestlingNews.co reported last month that there was an agreement for Banks and Naomi to return to WWE. That was later shot down by Fightful who reported that the deal had not been signed. Other sources like Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Banks and Naomi were expected back soon, although it wasn't confirmed if a new deal was signed or how things might have been worked out.

Some are arguing this is one of the first moves by Banks that point the arrows in one direction, that being that she might be moving on.

This Isn't Anything Official

Again, if Banks simply wants to go by Mercedes Varnado, she could be making changes to her social media profiles for other projects. If she does return to WWE, she may still go by Sasha Banks and this wouldn't be the first time a wrestler had a stage name and a social media profile name.

One thing to keep in mind is that she still has WWE listed in her bio. Underneath her new handle is written: "Sasha Banks-WWE Koska Reeves - The Mandalorian She remembered who she was and the game changed."
