“The Boss” Sasha Banks recently appeared on the Her Take interview series presented by Champs Sports. Topics discussed include her journey to WWE, the state of women’s wrestling, preferring NXT over RAW and who she was a bigger fan of between Steve Austin and The Rock.
Sasha Banks came up in NXT with Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Bayley, collectively known as WWE’s “Four Horsewomen.” The group appears to be on a collision course with Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler and the other ‘Four Horsewomen’ of MMA. Sasha has fond memories of their time together inNXT.
“It’s the best, they motivate me. They make me who I am because I want to be the best and I want to get better every single day. I remember being with Bayley, Charlotte and Becky in NXT, and we just pushed each other, and I remember every time that we had a match we wanted to outshine the guys, having the fans be like, ‘You know what, they stole the show.’ That’s the best feeling in the world.”
Sasha says her best matches are actually the ones against her friends, because “you hit your friends harder” in the ring.
“It’s crazy, I feel like you hit your friends harder. Legit, we go to war with each other,” Banks said. “I’ve had countless amazing matches with Becky, and with Bayley we won Match Of The Year of 2015. I want people to be like ‘That wasn’t just a good match because they’re girls,’ or ‘That was a good girls’ match.’ I want them to be like ‘That was a good match, period.’”
In a rapid-fire Q&A round at the end, Sasha chose Steve Austin over The Rock, stating that even though she likes both, she has a soft spot for Austin because he “slid into her DM’s” to congratulate her on one of her matches.
“I love both, but I’m gonna have to choose Stone Cold Steve Austin, just because he slid into my DMs one time. And when he did he was just saying how good a match was and I just remember freaking out.”
