In an interview with the The Miami Herald, Sasha Banks talked about her time in NXT, her “Boss” gimmick and more. Here are highlights:
On the journey from her start to being NXT Women’s Champion: “From my mom telling me ‘no’ to now telling everyone I’m the champion, and she’s so proud of me — and to prove to a lot of people — who didn’t believe in me, who didn’t think I was going to be here — that I’m here, and I did it. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions; it’s amazing.”
On her “Boss” gimmick and ring gear: “I’ve always known that I wanted to be different. I wanted to stand out. So my gear is very elaborate, very blingy, very loud, because I want people to notice me, want to look like me. The Boss necklace, the ring. I want everything big.”
On the crowd’s reaction: “It’s really cool to see how many people try to imitate me or wear my stuff. I get a lot of Instagram videos of people doing my entrance. I think that’s so cool. To see the variety of people, little girls, guys, doing it. I never really thought that would happen. It’s amazing.”
On possibly working with her cousin Snoop Dogg: “I hope one day he can make my entrance music. All my family on that side are big WWE fans, huge.”
