10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 30)
5. Sasha Banks Got Emotional Upon Seeing Herself In WWE 2K17
As much as it must be cool for someone like AJ Styles to go from creating himself in WWE games to actually starring in one, his reaction to WWE 2K17 was nothing compared to that of Sasha Banks. 'The Boss' posted on Twitter, revealing her glee over being included on the roster of stars in this year's game.
The short video showed Banks being interviewed about how much it means to her. In similar fashion to Styles, she also used to create herself year upon year, envisioning what she'd actually look like strutting her stuff on the WWE entrance ramp before entering the ring to wrestle.
Clearly geeking out, Sasha admits that it was emotional to see herself properly rendered for 2K17 and in the game. Playing as herself was also a special moment, because she realised that she wouldn't have to go through the arduous process of creating herself in order to play.
It may surprise some to learn that Banks was so excited about being in the video game. She's just a lifelong wrestling fan who got to fulfill her ambitions, and that comes across.
