WWE Backstage News & Notes For 4/11/2019

Banks Cryptic Updates, Reason For Lesnar/Rollins Opening WM35, Fuentes Released

– On Wednesday’s edition of The Wendy Williams Show, Williams commented on WWE star Sasha Banks cancelling her appearance on her show at the last minute by saying that Banks had a “family emergency” to deal with. Neither Banks nor WWE has made any further comment on this.

– According to pwinsider.com, the original position of the Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins Universal Title match at WrestleMania was to take place immediately before the women’s main event. However, a decision was made at approximately 530 PM to move it to the beginning of the card, with speculation suggesting that it was to accommodate Lesnar’s desire to leave the arena as soon as possible as he was going to be flying straight home.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that backstage interview Dasha Fuentes has been released from WWE though it is unclear why or even when she was released as Fuentes was in New York for WrestleMania. UPDATE: Fuentes was actually released shortly before WrestleMania weekend, reportedly because WWE just went in a different direction. Sarah Schreiber will replace her in backstage segments.
