Former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks spoke with William Mullally of The Cutaway about a wide range of pro wrestling topics in order to promote the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event where she’s set to challenge WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey for the strap.
During the interview, she was asked about her desire to headline WrestleMania 35 in a few months.
“I hope it’s me main-eventing WrestleMania. I’ve been saying it since day one. As far as Becky goes, she’s part of the Four Horsewomen so I have so much love and respect for her.”
Banks continued by stating that it’s cool to have Rousey in the WWE but she’s not the legit boss or the Man or the Queen or Hugger. In her eyes, she does think Rousey brings a lot of viewers to WWE from the outside world but she’s not one of them and no one is going to break more ground than her.
“I said from day one that I wanted to main event a WrestleMania. I put it out in the universe. If I see someone else does that, that’s going to break my heart. My hard work and someone else takes it? I don’t think so.”
Banks continued the interview by bringing up WWE expanding storylines in the women’s division. This is where she stated that she feels like they have come such a long way with the women’s division of the WWE but there’s only one women’s title on each brand and there’s only one story on each show. That will change once the Women’s Tag Team Titles get introduced.
“I don’t understand why we can’t have titles for it to have a secondary storyline where people will be more invested in what we do. Me and Bayley tag team all the time, but I feel like if we have a tag title to chase after, if we are champions, we can go to both brands and show the world that women’s tag team [wrestling] is where it’s at. For 2019, that is definitely the goal.”
