More on Sasha Banks taking convention bookings (Patreon)

Mercedes Varnado made headlines Wednesday when she was announced for C2E2.

The move prompted many wrestling conventions to reach out to the performer also known as Sasha Banks, with them noting that it couldn't happen until 2023. We also reached out to other convention organizers who confirmed they reached out to her reps, and were quoted a firm, specific rate. However, wrestling-related promoters that attempted to book her were told that she was only taking non-wrestling related bookings until January 1.

WWE have still not officially confirmed her release publicly, or to Fightful. One promoter that reached out said they "can't imagine her not being released at this point." Talent we followed up with are also under this impression, still. From an official capacity, nothing has changed. 

We weren't told if her not accepting wrestling related bookings is a personal preference or tied to something contractual, but have exhausted sources to find out.
