Sasha Banks was brutally assaulted by her friend, SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley, after the duo failed to regain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. The vicious attack lasted several minutes with Bayley attacking both the injured knee and the neck of her former friend.
As of now, WWE says Banks has been evaluated but hasn’t provided further clarification on the severity of her injury.
Big E, on the other hand, was assaulted in the parking lot by Sheamus effectively taking him out of the number one contender Fatal 4-Way match to determine who would challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WWE Clash of Champions. WWE says Big E is currently undergoing a “battery of tests.”
After a wild night on SmackDown, Sasha Banks and Big E found themselves in need of medical attention.

But the worst was yet to come for Banks. After she refused medical attention, Banks was brutally attacked by her partner and best friend, Bayley, who culminating the assault by wrapping a steel chair around Banks’ neck and jumping off the second rope to stomp on it. Banks was taken from the WWE ThunderDome in an ambulance. WWE.com can confirm that Banks was taken to a local medical facility and is being evaluated.
