Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch had a fantastic match on WWE SmackDown on Friday.

Becky Lynch recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to discuss all things WWE. When asked about her matchup against Sasha Banks last week on SmackDown, Lynch said anytime she steps into the ring with Banks is magic.

"Coming back, I had a mantra in my head: ‘Better than ever,’" Becky Lynch said. "My goal was [to] come back better than ever. That’s what I trained for and worked toward. Win or lose, I believe I proved that on Friday. So that match on SmackDown meant a lot. Any time Becky Lynch steps in the ring with Sasha Banks, it’s magic. That’s two of the best in the world going head-to-head. And let’s be honest, if it weren’t for that meddling Bianca Belair, I wouldn’t have lost that match anyway."
