Stunned banks withdraw from Mae West fight (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
awe-struck
'stunned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'banks withdraw from mae west fight' is the wordplay.
'banks withdraw from' indicates the central letters (letters at the sides or banks are removed).
'fight' becomes 'ruck' (I've seen this before).
The centre of 'mae' is 'a'.
'a'+'west'+'ruck'='AWE-STRUCK'
(Other definitions for awe-struck that I've seen before include "Smitten with wonder" , "Dumbfounded" , "Suck water (anag) - completely astonished" , "Lost for words" , "Showing a feeling of wonder and dread" .)
