WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks knows how to get fans talking with her performances on Friday Night SmackDown, but recently fans have been talking about Sasha’s appearance on a completely different show.
The Boss landed the role of Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian, and her role in the show generated quite the buzz for Banks on social media.
During a recent Instagram interview with ProSieben MAXX Banks revealed that the director of the show offered her the role after seeing her on Hot Ones.
“He watched me on Hot Ones. So, if you watched Hot Ones, I said that I’m a WWE Superstar. So he said he loved my personality on that and he wanted to write a role for me. I was just honestly in such shock that I’m still, to this day, pinching myself that I was even in a Star Wars episode. It’s just so surreal. It’s so crazy, but it’s such an honor as well. If you have a dream, anything can happen. Let the universe guide you.”
When asked if she had to take acting lessons for the role Banks referred to her experience working as a WWE Superstar.
“I act every single week on Friday Night SmackDown. I was acting every single week on Monday Night RAW. There’s nothing really to prepare for. When you work for the WWE, you have everything you need.”
