Former WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, who is currently out of action with a back injury and is expected to return to action in mid-September, recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about several topics. Banks started her wrestling career on the independent wrestling scene in Boston, Massachusetts, which helped her create her current character.
“Once I moved to Boston, that’s where everything came full circle for me,” said Banks. “I joined a wrestling school, and it was the same wrestling school I remember emailing when I was twelve and they told me I was too young. Then, there I was at 18, walking through the doors to this fantasy camp and I was the only girl. I walked in and thought, ‘I got this,’ and I got it. They gave me three months of free training, and they helped a little Mercedes KV turn into ‘The Boss’ Sasha Banks. That’s why I love Boston so much, it’s home. I got the phone call for my tryout in Boston. Boston is home, I love it.”
Banks has accomplished a lot of things while in WWE but she has two goals that she has yet to achieve.
“I’ve accomplished so many of my dreams already, but main-eventing WrestleMania is a dream,” said Banks. “Also, I want to be on the cover of the 2K game next year–bye bye, Brock. The sky is the limit, and there is no limit to my dreams.”
Banks also talked about her WWE career and more. You can read the full interview here.
