I told everyone that I was going to be a pro wrestler ever since I was 10 years old, and now I can show them that I did it. Sasha Banks Read Quote
I remember looking up wrestling schools at the age of 10, and I emailed so many people. The responses were that I had to be 16 or 18 to train, and that was a bummer. Sasha Banks Read Quote
It feels like a whole other brand onto itself, and I know for the girls – and just speaking for myself – being at NXT has been such an amazing experienc, and I feel so accomplished here as wrestling as a woman and just showing fans that women can do it better than the men. Sasha Banks Read Quote
I know that at ‘NXT TakeOver’ and the fatal four-way, we’ll definitely have people saying, ‘Oh my God, those were not Divas; those were superstars right there.’ Sasha Banks Read Quote
I was in the independent scene for two years before I got the call from the WWE. Sasha Banks Read Quote
We are at a point now where people respect us and respect our work – the guys want to sit down and watch women’s matches. Sasha Banks Read Quote
I didn’t want to walk into WWE and be someone who just does bikini matches and played second fiddle to the guys. I wanted to stand out, make people excited to see women’s wrestling, and show them we can be better than the men. Sasha Banks Read Quote
Back in the day when I started on the independent scene, guys would not watch women’s matches, and if they did, they would do it to make fun of us. Sasha Banks Read Quote
From my mom telling me ‘no’ to now telling everyone I’m the champion, and she’s so proud of me, and to prove to a lot of people – who didn’t believe in me, who didn’t think I was going to be here – that I’m here, and I did it. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions; it’s amazing. Sasha Banks Read Quote
I definitely would like to work with Nia Jax; she’s something different that I haven’t had yet. I didn’t have someone like her to work with in NXT, so I think I would like to work with her next. I think that would be a great feud. Sasha Banks Read Quote
