Sasha Banks Reveals Why She Took WWE Hiatus, Addresses Reports Surrounding Her Absence

WWE premiered their latest WWE Chronicle featuring Sasha Banks tonight on the WWE Network. Banks gave some insight to why she took a hiatus from the company, and addresses reports surrounding her absence.

Banks detailed how depression caused her to need take a step back from WWE and find herself. She mentioned she underwent therapy to help find herself in a time where she was at her lowest.
