Sasha Banks has all the intangibles to be the next breakout star in the WWE, but her role has been noticably limited since WrestleMania 32.
"The Boss" was involved in arguably the Match of the Night with Women's Champion Charlotte and Becky Lynch on April 3 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Though she surprisingly didn't leave with the belt, it was a great performance.
It seemed as though Banks was poised to be one of the top stars going forward, but she's been held off of television altogether lately as Charlotte has moved on to a Women's Championship feud with Natalya.
After not appearing on "Monday Night RAW" this past week, Banks also wasn't booked for "SmackDown." On Tuesday, she fired off a cryptic tweet that seemed to hint she was upset over being passed over for another taping.
The former NXT Women's Champion hasn't appeared on "RAW" since a multi-woman tag match on April 18 and and hasn't had a singles match on television since April 4 on the flagship show, when she faced Summer Rae.

It makes little sense that Banks, who captivated audiences in NXT, didn't win the belt at WrestleMania. Her booking post-"Show of Shows" is also vexing.
"The Boss" has the look, character and unbelievable in-ring ability to be a huge part of the women's wrestling movement, but has been held back. While it's unknown if her tweet had to do with that, it would make sense.
Banks has even had Hall of Famers praise her as Bret Hart called her a "real innovator" and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin said she is "one of my favorites" and the WWE should book her strongly again.
It's likely Banks' push will resume around SummerSlam, possibly with her crowning moment, but it makes no sense for the WWE to not begin building momentum for her now.
The WWE Universe constantly chants "We Want Sasha" and yet the WWE has kept her off of television altogether.
