WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks says she wants to be remembered as the greatest women’s wrestler of all-time. She recently spoke with The Kingston Whig-Standard to promote SummerSlam and was asked about her legacy. She said:
“I remember writing in my journal when I was 10 that I wanted to be the greatest women’s wrestler of all time, so that’s how I want to be remembered. I just want people to look back and be like, ‘Oh my God, that Sasha Banks, she was amazing,’ or ‘I want to study Sasha Banks so I can be like her,’ or ‘I want to be better than Sasha Banks because she’s the best.’ That’s how I want to be remembered, as the absolute best of all time.”
Regarding the WWE brand split, The Boss believes it’s a good thing and hopes SmackDown gets their own gold.
“I think it’s a good opportunity for women. With all of us on the same roster, it was very hard to fight for time. We were barely given any time. Just on Raw, which is a three-hour show, we were given like two minutes, three minutes. Now that we’re both on separate brands, we saw this week, there was two women’s matches on SmackDown, the week before there were two segments of women’s matches. I think it’s a great opportunity. I’m hoping that they get a women’s title for SmackDown and the women’s division can fight for that. Our division is going to keep on growing and growing. With me as champion, I’m definitely going to show what our division is about. I think it’s a great opportunity for groups of women because both women on both sides are amazing competitors.”
Finally, Sasha had nothing but praise for Stephanie McMahon. She commented:
“She is a huge role model not just for girls outside of WWE, but for us. She is so strong in the way that she carries herself. Any time she’s backstage, she’ll talk to us, she’ll give us advice, she always gives me a huge 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.”
