Sasha Banks Wants to Be “On Par with The Rock”, Talks First Day in WWE NXT

wwe nxt tv tapingWWE.com has a new interview with NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. 

Her first day in WWE:

“I remember walking into NXT that first day. I was nervous and I was scared. All I wanted to do was win over every single fan that paid their hard-earned money to see me perform. I realize now that no matter how great you are or try to be, there will always be people who look down upon you. Whether its jealousy, envy, whatever. And that’s OK. I know where I’m headed, and they’re not going to drag me down.”

The era of Sasha Banks: 

“If you look at it in historical terms, Paige was the first champion so her era was like an introduction into this higher level of female empowerment. Charlotte’s era was similar to what Brock Lesnar is now. Just a dominant, “It’s gonna take the world to take me down”-type of competitor. My era is bigger than that. I’m going to transcend boundaries. I’m aiming for an era that’s on par with The Rock. Sasha Banks will be a name that’s on everyone’s tongues, and not just fans of NXT. Bank on it.”

This is pure speculation, but given last week’s big #GiveDivasaChance trend it seems more than a coincidence that WWE.com is covered in Divas-centric material. There’s two galleries for Lana and AJ Lee, Brie vs. AJ front-and-center for Smackdown, an NXT review and the aforementioned Q&A with Sasha Banks, plus Stephanie McMahon at the ANA conference.
