Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks is one of the top women in the wrestling industry and her performances have been blockbusters since her debut. The former champion is a fan favourite and has performed very well in the past years. Her performances in a tag team and as a singles superstar make her one of the greatest women in WWE history.
Sasha Banks appeared on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s ‘Broken Skull Sessions’ and revealed that she requested Vince McMahon for a release from WWE but the Chairman rejected the request. Banks also revealed why she wanted the release and thanked McMahon for making her stay. Here’s what she said:
“I felt like I wasn’t giving my highest good. If I’m not giving my highest good, if I’m not being the best, if I’m not used as the best then I gotta go find that. I am always that performer of wanting to be No. 1 and I felt in my heart that I wasn’t feeling just good, I wasn’t feeling good. I felt that I did all that I could and I needed that break.”
“I needed that release and Vince told me, ‘No’. That was a great decision on both ends. He knew what he saw and he’s so smart, he’s so kind, he’s so gentle. He actually knew what I needed, which was ‘time’, at the end of the point all of want a little bit of time.” – Sportskeeda
Sasha Banks also opened up about her relationship with Vince McMahon recently
Banks sat with Brandon F Walker on Rasslin’ a few months ago and discussed about her relationship with the chairman of WWE Vince McMahon. The Boss also jokingly said that she wanted to open her own wrestling federation in Mars. Here’s what she said:
“That’s my plan for the second half of the year (to become a billionaire). That’s all I want. I want to go to Mars. Start my own federation up there. I’m going to bring people. Once I get my confidence, once I become a billionaire, once I become the legit CEO of WWE, we’re going to Mars. He trusts me. We’re best friends. I love you, Vince. Thank you, Vince. My best friend. (On) speed dial. Texts every single morning, ‘(imitates Vince McMahon’s voice) How are you, Sasha?’ (She replies) ‘Good morning, Vince. How are you?’” – Sportskeeda
