Sasha Banks - Must watch interview: On childhood, journey to WWE, Charlotte, Bayley + Hell in a Cell

Shot in her hotel room in NYC during the production of my Channel 4 documentary - 'Smashing Glass Ceilings: The Women of WWE' - this is my intimate, emotional interview with Sasha Banks. She's chatting about the rise in popularity of the women's division in WWE, her relationships with Bayley and Charlotte Flair, her feelings on her Hell in a Cell match, and she gets choked up talking about her childhood, her tough journey to WWE, her relationship with her father and the reasons behind her obsession with wrestling. This is Sasha being very open and honest, must watch. Catch the whole WWE documentary HERE: sstrk.co/2jXDIP9 (viewers outside of U.K. must watch on *desktop*)

[@kayleejohnson1095]

Dossun® I want to be just like Sasha Banks

[@BradenRapp1234]

Ashley Somerville Yeah right. Your name is not Sophia...

[@swagatamghosh94]

I admire this woman so much. She is so damn adorable, so genuine and such a nice person. Massive Sasha mark for life.

[@goodlife2456]

Sasha is the total package, down to earth, beauty, athleticism, ring awareness, intelligence, charisma....To achieve what she has in the WWE at her age, smh. She could easily have the longevity of a some of the all time legends. Hopefully the rumor of a match between her and Trish Stratus becomes a reality.

[@scottmeyer257]

Probably the best Sasha interview I've seen yet. she seems happy and on point. coffee must be in full effect, lol

[@TheSmoothLibra]

Scott Meyer lol this interview is intresting..but you gotta wonder. Is sasha or bayley gonna turn heel??

[@MSH786]

JP Yup, Bayley will turn heel only after John Cena does, which will never happen!

[@itzelarredondo1110]

[@georgemunro319]

That's why I said it's not Sasha Banks talking it's Mercades Keastner Varnado sharing her real life story

[@paulpatterson9313]

The more I learn about this amazingly talented wrestler, the more I like her.

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

i love how normal & down to earth she is. i can relate to her on so many levels. LOVE HER.

[@charlybrooke8221]

Sasha is the only person who I listen to all her q&a's are so inspiring and she means everything to me I'm drawn to Sasha like she was drawn to Eddie It may sound weird but my life revolves around WWE Sasha is my role model and I really want her to win the championship at Wrestlemania 33 Love u Sash I'm speaking as an 11 year old girl It has been my dream to meet her and I really got into WWE when Sasha started out Since her debut match I knew she was gonna be someone great and I love her I WANNA MEET HER SO BAD but by the time I turn 18 which is like in 6 1/2 years my friends think that WWE will be extinct I pray every single day that Sasha is successful and that she does great in life and that I get to meet her I love her so much Sasha if u ever come across this comment I want u to know that u will always be a role model to me I had this dream that I had to go 1 on 1 with u for the raw women's championship but I walked out of the ring out of respect and told the referee that u have to be champ Ur biggest fan -Zaara

[@jonathonjennings6752]

[@therealcdogg1533]

she is something special

[@xretroman]

Great interview, this will make anyone become an instant Sasha Banks fan

[@Elositofluffy]

[@michaelb4538]

Says what?

[@mhizjay9095]

I have the same story about with Sasha about my Father,He was never there for me my mum and my brother's but now that we have grown up amazing,He just wanna crown back to us

[@robloxamongusperson3810]

Sasha banks is literally my favorite person

[@superkid12345]

It's incredible to me how the WWE (and more so William Regal) has been able to consistently find women who look great, have incredible in ring ability and a deep passion for wrestling. I think that last part is why the women's division is doing so well. Too many of the dudes they are pushing to the top don't have half of the love and passion for wrestling that the women do

[@kingmarc23]

Sasha is just so amazing !

[@Hezroy1]

Sasha Banks is so amazing. She has all the qualities and characteristics you would ever want in a girlfriend. Man I wish she was my girlfriend.

[@Jono0507]

lol i think most of us do but she has a bf or they r married.not really sure

[@garytaylor3880]

Jonathan Lieu yeah they got married

[@jaynadiah5498]

I'm a straight female but i'm not afraid to say i am soooo attracted to sasha banks... i absolutely LOVE her!! her sense of style.. her outfits.. her personality.. her look.. i would absolutely turn for her :)

[@Jono0507]

Gary Taylor yea they got married recently

[@jaynadiah5498]

you think they'd be up for a threesome? haha!

[@irinanacu8317]

I dont know if Sasha Banks will see this but I just wanted to say u are my idol and u make me dont give up and live my dream! I love u Sasha

[@vTime_SportzX]

Sasha is such a inspiration, she’s so fun and is truthful. Everything she has been through is heartbreaking but she always comes out with a smile 🩵

[@patrickgray5633]

I have a soft spot for her & all she's gone through. I've had some issues & she & her story gives me hope that all will be ok.

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

You don't know how much I wanted to give sasha a hug in this interview she made me cry a few times

[@JL-og4oc]

I love Sasha banks!

[@angelloves893]

i love you sasha i want to be just like you

[@dania443]

sasha is amazing i wish i could meet her. she inspired so many people it is jus so amazing

[@twanmack2686]

random thought: Everyone focuses on cool moves (Ember Moon does that, and I love her style) but with this chick here. She can do that, but it's the fucking ring IQ that can't be matched! She does so many little things ( and big things like when she stomped on Bayley's hand in Brooklyn... that's ring IQ) like how she gets from point A to B to C during a match so flawlessly. Remember when she beat Charlotte to win the belt for the second time. This girl fought on kneeled down on offense (literally from underneath) looking like she was fighting death! She on another level. Her and Bayley sell better than 99% of the roster. I mean, even in the post match photos with Trips, Steph, Sara Del Rey and the other Horsewomen shes still favoring her hand that Bayley picked apart from the Ironwoman mactch. never comes up with super healing strength after getting a body part worked on. Can't say that bout anyone else in WWE. Her mannerisms in the ring can't be touched by anyone else... facts. I like Charlotte an all, but the stuff Charlotte does now Sasha was doing in 2014, plus 10X better! I advice y'all to go back just watch this girl on defense. Fuck a Highspot. Just watch her facial expression, body language and she's just a pup (being 25 yrs old an all). This girl is something really special appreciate it while y'all got it. I like when people say Nia doesn't look aggressive (I tend to disagree) Sasha made that chicks offensive strikes and moves look ferocious! She gave her-her best match to date imo. .. fuck that she's given Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Naomi (on a random SmackDown. The Nao Mob came after me on Twitter when I said, 'Sasha just give Naomi the best matches of her life.' 😎), Alexa Bliss & Nia all of them their best matches. One thing you can't say about her is that she isn't driven. OK that's my rant. Keep doing Big Boss Things, Boss.

[@allanmitchell2812]

You made Boston proud Sasha Banks and I'm proud to be a big fan of yours you make me feel like I can do anything Sasha you are a amazing woman and I'm out here in Boston show you love and support Mercedes keep up the great work 💘 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘👈🏽
