Sasha Banks

“I just remember that when I started at NXT, I had no character. I had nothing. I was just so excited to be here and just to be a wrestler.”

“We are at a point now where people respect us and respect our work - the guys want to sit down and watch women's matches.”

“Eddie Guerrero is my number one. He is the reason I am in the WWE - I wanted to be the female version of him.”

“I was in the independent scene for two years before I got the call from the WWE.”

“It feels like a whole other brand onto itself, and I know for the girls - and just speaking for myself - being at NXT has been such an amazing experienc, and I feel so accomplished here as wrestling as a woman and just showing fans that women can do it better than the men.”

“To me, my dream is just to have it all. I would love to be the first woman to have a ladder match, the first woman to have a Money in the Bank match. That's just a dream of mine, but that's such a far dream that who knows if that's going to happen?”

“After a pay per view, I know there is TV the next day. But after Raw, I like to eat bad. I can have some pizza, French fries, a burger, live it up, a glass of wine - red, of course.”

“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.”

“When you have little girls bringing you your action figures for you to sign, it's like, 'Wow, things are happening, and dreams do come true.'”

“I went from two-minute matches when I started with NXT to eight, to 10, to 12.”

“It's really cool, the opportunities that NXT brings. Who would ever thought that Jushin Liger would be in this company, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn? It's crazy. Man, I don't know, bring anybody. I want to wrestle with everybody. Even I want to wrestle Jushin Liger, so I'm jealous.”

“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.”

“We don't feel like we're famous. We just feel like we're doing what we love.”

“For me, I've always told myself, 'I can only do me in the ring.' When I go out there and perform, I can only do what Sasha Banks can do.”

“I was born in California and moved around a lot. When I was 17, I moved to Boston because my mom got a job there. The moment I went to Boston, everything just felt right and fell into place on how I wanted it to be.”

“First-ever woman to have an iron-man match. It's been such a long time, to be the second woman ever to main event a Raw.”

“I would absolutely love to wrestle Sami Zayn because he's absolutely one of my favorites to watch. I think me and his style would just work. That would definitely be a dream match of mine.”

“I used to work at a hotel. I was the order-taker for room service. My mom worked at the hotel as an accountant.”

“I call Boston home because it's where I started coming into my own.”

“I get people who come up to me and are like, 'You make me wanna live my dream.' I was them, so I'm like, 'Me, out of all people? No way.' Eddie Guerrero did that for me, so to have little girls and guys tell me I inspire them, I didn't know that came with the job, but it's so cool.”
