Comeback Kid
Posted: Mon May 29, 2017 9:25 pm
The Mean Girls had collectively been out of sight for nearly five months before getting back to TV. Between each member- Summer Rae, Eva Marie, and Sasha Banks, not much could be said of the team as of late. But with the start of the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments, this was a surefire to way shove their way back into the limelight they definitely needed. After the loss of the women’s championship to Natalya, Sasha Banks had effectively disappeared from the ring, leaving lots to speculation. Was she injured? Was she suspended, or even fired? No one was really sure what happened to the self-proclaimed Head-Boss-In-Charge, but even more questions were sure to arise after news of her returning match-up on the latest Sunday night PPV, Death Before Dishonor. Other than the occasional appearance alongside team members Summer Rae or Eva Marie, Sasha remained on the DL. What created even more buzz around her official in-ring return was the fact it was in Round 1 of 2017 the Queen of the Ring tournament. To top it off, The BOSS would face a long-time target of the Mean Girls, Velvet Sky.
Renee Young: And now ladies and gentlemen and EBWF Universe, please join me in welcoming back 2016 Queen of the Ring winner and 2 time women’s champion, Sasha Banks.
BOSSton’s Baddest practically catwalked into view, with a little pep in her step. She wore her trademark shutter shades in white to match her ring gear and leather jacket with studs and rivets. The HBIC had an interview just before her match.
Sasha Banks: That’s all I get? Tuh. No “OMG, Sasha you’re back!” No, “What’s good?”, no nothing?
Renee looked taken aback.
Renee Young: I haven’t even said two sentences, Sasha--
Sasha Banks: SWERVE! That’s enough from you. I don’t wanna hear it, boo boo. Stick with one and a half and say no more, because the BOSS is back. Me just standing here in front of the camera should say everything there is to say.
Renee Young: You haven’t missed a beat…
This was a clearly sarcastic remark from the adored EBWF interviewer. Not cute and not allowed. Sasha pointed a finger to Renee and clapped back.
Sasha Banks: And you’ve missed a few nose hairs boo boo. When you get mad, your nostrils flare. Control yourself. Just because you haven’t seen me in a minute doesn’t mean you get to treat me like an old friend. Tuh. We have to catch up first.
Renee Young: Okay.
If the famous gif of Waka Flocka were portrayed in actual conversation, Renee probably just did it.
Sasha Banks: Ain’t you supposed to be a conversationalist? That’s your job.
Renee Young: It takes two to have a conversation, Sasha, and you’re next to impossible to converse with.
Sasha clutched a hand to her chest, clearly offended.
Sasha Banks: RUDE! Don’t talk to me like that.
Renee Young: But I’m supposed to be a conversationalist, so I need to not not talk to you.
Sasha Banks: Whatever, you’re testing me and I’m not about to be bothered and answer to that.
Renee Young: So now that you’re back… There are a lot of questions you very well could answer surrounding your absence.
Sasha Banks: Lookit, Renee. People are focusing on the wrong thing. There’s always gonna be questions. “How does Katy Perry smoke much crack and survive? What’s wrong with Jennifer Lawrence? Why do I cry myself to sleep every night?”
A brief pause left an awkward silence.
Renee Young: ...You cry yourself to sleep?
Sasha Banks: ARE YOU DUMB! I WAS ASKING YOU!
Renee huffed and shook her head.
Renee Young: Where have you been this whole time, Sasha?!
Sasha Banks: WRONG QUESTION, you should be asking me what’s my plans now that I’m back.
Renee Young: Okay then, what are your plans?
Sasha Banks: Who do you think I am, tellin’ everybody my business day one? TUH! Like, how can you ask me anything. Who are you? Who am I even facing? DON’T ANSWER ME!
Renee threw her hands up in defeat.
Renee Young: What am I even doing here?
Sasha Banks: That sounds like a question you could be asking me, Renee… How do you still work here? I’ll tell you who I’m facing. That road rash lookin’ girl, Velvet Sky. She’s sooo done. I can’t even think of anything to say about her.
Renee Young: Absolutely nothing at all comes to mind?
Sasha Banks: One word. Two letters: No.
Renee Young: So you’re saying there’s nothing you have to say?
Sasha Banks: Umm, yes? I just said no.
Renee Young: Somewhere down the line, you’re going to have to explain yourself, Sasha.
Sasha Banks: What do you expect me to say? Do you really think I’m about to come out here, in front of all these people, and talk about how I fell on my face and lost? No one wants to hear about how Sasha Banks lost. How Sasha Banks got beat. How all it took was one match for Sasha Banks to flake. We all know that’s what’s comin’ for the next month and a half while I skip my way through this tournament. Let me get real with folks for a second...
I have a million things I could say about my opponent tonight, but we need to lock it down and focus on one irksome thing. Everyone in this division is flexin’ so hard right now, yet didn’t do two cents worth the entire time I was out. Natalya has been on top of her game since December 24th. I can say that as the loser, it's BEST I lost to a LEGIT winner like her! 'Cuz now I’m back and she hasn’t still hasn't gone anywhere. All that nothing everyone has been doing says so, so much! Out of everyone in this company, Natalya is the ONLY one to have given me any respect when she didn’t need to. Natalya beat me at my own game. I was finessed and it took me until now to even see it! But game recognizes game, Renee. I see I got too big for my boots. She saw it too, and she yanked them right off my feet and I tripped and fell in the mud. Like some type of... thug. Tuh. And they say I'm a hoodrat, when Natalya literally robbed me blind.
The HBIC looked down for a moment, but returned back to the conversation in a split second with a shrug.
Sasha Banks: Now all the sudden, ya girl is back, and people want to run their mouths on me. A girl like Velvet Sky needs to stop stuntin’ and learn when to throw her punches, because if she was legit about wanting to make herself the BOSS of the division again like she claims she is, she woulda hopped on that train 6 stations ago, in December, the moment I lost the women’s championship. Velvet Sky ain't about that life anymore. While Natalya was literally throwing the same little troll Alexa Bliss around the ring every other week, did she step up? Scribble that name out like a DJ... Because no she did not. Her L's are screaming that out from the back of the room. The only person to try and do something with themselves is Liv Morgan. More young blood that these veteran folks like to say don't deserve nothin'. The "young thugs" that put in the work to keep walking on from those who did set up our path to the top. Don't think that just because we like to speak our confidence doesn't mean we don't know where we came from or how we got to where we are today in this company. The problem is NEVER the new wave, it's the fact a woman like Velvet Sky wants to complain rather than do. You can talk all you want, boo boo, but unless you get some smackin' in with that talking, nothing is gonna change for you.
Renee, The world can BET that I’m here to snatch scalps, take names, and add another feat to my list. I stay living to better myself. To make a move. To continue being Built On Self Success- A BOSS! Now that I’m back… Everyone has somethin’ to say about me. Maybe the threat isn’t just the women’s champion. By the way people are talkin’, maybe they have more on their mind but just don’t wanna say it. Me? I’m a BOSS. I say what I want and I say what I mean, and you can bet everything I say holds it weight in GOLD!
Renee Young: Gold seems to be a word in everyone’s lexicon these days; what makes you so different from the rest?
Sasha Banks: Maybe we don’t need to look at it as what makes me different from everyone else, but how I'm the similar with so few people.
Renee Young: What do you mean by that?
Sasha Banks: Stop looking at everyone's differences and look at what people have in common. Tuh. Why did I need to say it twice? In this very company, it ain't always about how many of something there is, but how few there are... There are only three women in the Queen of the Ring tournament this year who can say they’ve won it, boo boo. Let me name two: Trish Stratus. Maryse. And you know number three, because most recently it was...
Renee Young: You... 2016 Queen of the Ring.
Sasha Banks: Bet. That alone speaks for itself. Those with the most to say usually have the least to talk about. It looks like I’ma have to jog some people’s memory around here, but it’s gonna be hard when half of them haven’t even taken the next step in their careers. Tuh. All this big talk from these girls who don’t know moving forward from falling backward, don’t let your words come back and bite you. Otherwise the world will smack you back down into the ground and make you dig your way back up. No hole is gonna trap me Renee, and starting tonight everyone is gonna see what happens when a BOSS has been locked up for way too long. And you can Bank. On. That.
Sasha slid her shades back over her eyes.
Sasha Banks: Translation for you basics: You lose, Velvet. Byeee.
A Mean Girls snap across her body saluted Renee and the cameras as the BOSS made her exit.
Renee Young: And now ladies and gentlemen and EBWF Universe, please join me in welcoming back 2016 Queen of the Ring winner and 2 time women’s champion, Sasha Banks.
