Former WWE Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks spoke with talkSPORT about a wide range of topics including the impact that the introduction of WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles will have on her career.
Banks, who is set to challenge WWE Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on Sunday, January 27, 2019, in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field that will air on the WWE Network, has been a big supporter of a tag team division being implemented for the women in the WWE.
During this interview, Banks spoke about how she plans to be a double champion in the WWE this year as she has her sights on the Raw Women’s Title as well as the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
“For me, frustration is what you need to strive you to get better. You have to fail to succeed, and you can’t just stay at the top because there’s nowhere else to go. If you’re just at the top, you’re gonna go stale, you’re gonna stagnate, you’re never going to learn and grow and for me, the last year has been a roller coaster of a career, but I felt the most accomplished when Vince McMahon said the Women’s Tag Team titles were coming. I wasn’t getting used in the title picture, so I found a different focus and a different goal.”
“I worked so hard on my craft, I worked hard to be the best singles wrestler, and now I’m working hard to be the best tag team wrestler that I can. For me, yes I was frustrated, but I got everything I wanted at the same time. It’s just cool at the start of 2019 going into the title picture and hearing the tag titles are coming. So for me, my goal is to be a double champion.”
