10 Moments That Made Sasha Banks WWE's MVP
10. NXT TakeOver: Respect
NXT old-schoolers remember.
Bayley vs. Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver: Respect in October 2015 was the first women's match to headline one of those specials. It was also WWE's first 'Iron Woman' bout, and became the longest female match in company history up until that point as soon as it finished.
The real-life pals left a legacy behind them with one scorcher of a clash, and it'd set them up nicely for even bigger things to come on the main roster. Back then, it felt like a sea change for women's wrestling in Vince McMahon promotion - that feeling would only heighten over the next 12 months or so.
Of course, like every moment here, Sasha shared the stage with somebody else. Still, that shouldn't take away from her own workload, or the incredible poise she showed for somebody who was just over five years into her pro career.
This remains must-see stuff even if you watched it live.
