WWE News: Sasha Banks on rocky start to WWE career and Stephanie McMahon
It has been quite the fairytale story for Sasha Banks in the WWE. After clawing her way to the main roster, she finally became the Women’s Champion in a match that stole the show on RAW. Sasha and Charlotte engaged in a match to remember on the 25 July episode that aired from Pittsburg. After using a “Lie, steal, cheat” technique like her inspiration, the late great, Eddie Guerro, to get rid of Dana Brooke, Sasha locked Charlotte in the “Bank Statement” in the middle of the ring for the win.
The “Boss” recently spoke to The Whig in a media conference call to promote SummerSlam. The current Women’s Champion opened up about the “Divas Revolution” and said, “I’ve wanted to change the whole division. I didn’t want to walk into the WWE being a diva and being someone that you see just doing bikini matches and just play second fiddle to the guys.
“I wanted to stand out and be the best and have people tune into Monday Night Raw and tune into SmackDown to see what Sasha Banks can do. And hopefully I am doing that and hopefully people are getting excited to see women’s wrestling.
“It was a struggle at first when we got brought up to Raw. This Divas Revolution didn’t have that great, great start that I wanted it to, but I knew with time that we would get it to where we wanted to be”, Sasha was noted saying.
Sasha also heaped praise on Raw Commissioner, Stephanie McMahon saying that she was a big inspiration not only to girls outside of WWE, but also for the women on the roster.
“She is so strong in the way that she carries herself. Anytime she’s backstage, she’ll talk to us, she’ll give us advice, she always gives me a hug when I see her. I think little things like that, when a boss — she is a boss, just like me — that she actually cares about what we’re doing and I think that’s so special.
“She is absolutely incredible. I look up to her because she is so strong and so powerful in the way that she conducts herself. I think that’s how all women should be in the WWE. She’s professional to a tee. I have so many good things to say about her.”
