WWE Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks recently spoke to Fox Sports to promote Hell in a Cell on Sunday. During the interview Sasha talked about her relationship with Charlotte, getting advice from Mick Foley and more. You can check out the interview here along with some highlights below.
If she thinks her match should main event Hell in a Cell: “For me in this particular moment it does not matter to me, because we’re already making history being the first women’s match inside Hell in a Cell. I don’t think you can really even top that… whether we’re first, middle, last, we’re just going to go out there and steal the show, so you can put us anywhere.”
Getting advice from Mick Foley: “I have talked to him about the match and he’s just told me how big of a deal this is, especially being the first ever woman being inside Hell in a Cell. It’s never been done, and it hasn’t been done for a reason but I finally think because the women’s revolution just keeps on going and going – it’s finally to a point where you don’t have to say ‘women can only do this, women can only do that.’ He has given me advice for it, but he’s also trying to scare me with it, too, which I don’t need. But he is like… he acts like a dad. He just wants to make sure we’re all good. Anything we need he’s always there for us.”
Her relationship with Charlotte: “We didn’t really wrestle each other for the first couple years, we were actually a tag team. We tag-teamed all over Florida, we were in the BFFs. When we first started we were these very, very generic babyfaces, really not given the opportunity – we were just there to try to get the other girls over. And it wasn’t until… I think after Charlotte won her NXT Women’s Championship she kinda got a big head like she always does, and I wasn’t really feeling that, because I’m like ‘listen, who helped you from the beginning? That’s right, me. Because I’m the one with the wrestling skills, I’m the one who loves this the most.’ So I kinda just had to put her on her face, and ever since then it’s been this ongoing rivalry to try and prove who’s better.”
