WWE star Sasha Banks ‘to appear in hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian’ after filming scenes for Star Wars spin-off
WWE star Sasha Banks is set to appear in hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian, according to reports.
The SmackDown ace is understood to have already filmed scenes for the second season of the Star Wars spin-off series.
The four-time women's champion has been taking a break from wrestling, and has not been seen on TV since mid-January.
According to the reliable Ryan Satin of the Pro Wrestling Sheet, Banks has spent time away to film for the highly-acclaimed programme.
It is not known who she will play in the programme, or how long her character will be involved for.
The 28-year-old - who is Snoop Dogg's cousin - spent time away from the WWE last year after suffering an ankle injury and having a series of backstage bust-ups.
The Mandalorian was lauded by critics and fans after a successful first series on Disney's new TV streaming service.
Series director Jon Favreau - famous for starring in Friends and Swingers - revealed late last year his masterpiece would be back before the end of 2020.
He tweeted: "Season 2 of #TheMandalorian coming Fall 2020."
