10 Things You Didn't Know About Sasha Banks
5. She Didn't Feel Like She Belonged In WWE
Looking at pictures of the starlet, it's hard to imagine that Sasha Banks could have any problems with her confidence, but looks can often be deceiving. Remarkably, during several media appearances throughout 2014, Banks claimed she struggled with the pressure of being part of the WWE system, and it's taken her a few years to get used to the intense working environment the company demands.
During interviews, especially last year, she was incredibly candid about her troubles, stating that she broke down in tears more than once. It's startling to think that the ultra-confident Diva wrestling fans see on NXT - and now Monday Night Raw - could be under-confident, but it's taken Banks a good while to become comfortable.
One thing Sasha really set her sights on early on was proving that women could be as effective a part of the WWE roster as the guys, and that's something a lot of industry critics will agree NXT has achieved for female wrestling. It's likely due to her part in that resurgence for the Divas in WWE that Banks has witnessed her confidence grow.
