Stephanie McMahon recently spoke with ESPN.com to promote the upcoming WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Brooklyn, New York. Here are the highlights
On NXT:
“NXT is truly Paul’s baby and his vision and he treats the men and women performers exactly the same. The female performers are given the same amount of time and the same opportunity as the male performers and I think it’s that opportunity that has allowed these women to really hone their craft. Professional wrestling is like performance art. It truly is. You’re taking the crowd on a ride, on an emotional roller coaster. It is a craft that takes time to perfect and I think the advantage of NXT is they are given that time to do just that.”
On Sasha Banks and WWE’s women’s division:
“I feel such a shift in the way our women are portrayed, the opportunity they are given, and when given that opportunity, these women are tearing the house down and stealing the show with every chance they get. Sasha said, ‘I’m going to prove that I belong by being so good they can’t ignore me.’ That just about sums up Sasha Banks and what she has been able to do. The greatest part is these women are only just getting started.”
McMahon also talked about if she would let her daughters wrestle and more. You can read the entire interview here.
