10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2012 Facts

10. WWE Signed A Future Star The Day Before SummerSlam

By now, Florida Championship Wrestling had given way to the NXT branding. The wheels were firmly in motion for a developmental territory to one day become far more exciting than the swill on the main shows. A lot of work went into fortifying the Full Sail ranks, and one key component was signed on August 18, 2012.

Despite being only 20 years with barely two years of ring experience, this wrestler had something that WWE wanted to cultivate, and signed the performer to a developmental deal. Said wrestler began working their first matches on house shows, and by November, would begin working under a more recognizable name.

That wrestler? Massachussetts-based indy standout Mercedes KV, better known as Sasha Banks. "The Boss" got the call almost five years ago during SummerSlam weekend, and has amassed quite a following since that day.
