Sasha Banks is set to take on Charlotte and Becky Lynch for the divas championship at WrestleMania 32. She is one of the women that are currently changing the way women’s wrestling is viewed. In a recent interview with Andreas Hale of Yahoo Sports, Sasha spoke about her journey to WrestleMania 32 and wanting to be the greatest of all time.
On her journey into the wrestling business at a young age:
“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. When I finally turned 18, I found a pro wrestling school in New England and I was the only girl there. I trained my butt off every single day just to show them I could hang with the boys. I only spent two years on the independent scene, which is a very short time for people. I remember when I went to FCW [Florida Championship Wrestling] and said to myself “Wow, I finally did it.” That was just the beginning. It was so hard for me to find a character, create a name and a persona. But, finally, “The Boss” came out because I wanted to show the world that I was the best. A year later I’m living out my dream and it’s insane”
On being one of the women who are currently revolutionizing women’s wrestling:
“It means everything to me. People dream to be in the WWE but my dream is to be the best in the WWE. They can have the money and fame. My dream is to become known as the greatest wrestler of all time.”
