Sasha Banks was once a successful heel superstar on the NXT roster, but since she has been called up to the main roster, WWE has decided to allow to her remain a fan favorite.
Speculation about her future and an inevitable heel turn has been surrounding the former Raw Women’s Champion for a number of months now and it seems that Sasha has finally decided that it’s time to respond to it.
The former NXT Women’s Champion was interviewed by “The Masked Man Show” this past weekend and when asked if she prefers to be a heel or a babyface, she responded:
“Ummm, either one. I don’t like to just be like… cause a lot of people ask me ‘when are you going to turn heel?’ Like, I don’t care because guess what? I’m going to be in the WWE for a very long time so you’re going to see both versions of myself for a while. So people need to shut up because that’s what I’m sick of hearing.”
“‘When are you gonna turn heel?’ Then once I turn heel, ‘when are you gonna turn babyface?’ You guys just need to shut up and let me do me, okay? Why do you want me to turn on Bayley? That’s my best friend. I don’t have a lot of friends so just accept it. Yeah, I play either one very well, so it doesn’t matter.”
Sasha is currently part of a feud with Alicia Fox and Noam Dar that is expected to include Cedric Alexander in the coming weeks.
WWE recently filed for two more trademarks according to PWInsider which are said to include “Bruiserweight” for Pete Dunne and “WWE Rockstars” for Shinsuke Nakamura given his recent push on the main roster.
It’s great news for the new WWE UK Champion who is now expected to be pushed as one of Triple H’s favorites on the NXT roster. Nakamura is also set to be pushed as the front man on SmackDown in the absence of John Cena in the coming months.
I wouldn’t care for her if she turned heel. I just don’t like her. People go gaga over her but I don’t get it.
