10 Best Sasha Banks Matches In WWE
5. Sasha Banks Vs. Io Shirai (NXT The Great American Bash)
The most recent match on this list, Sasha and Io's non-title showdown on the recent NXT Great American Bash special lived up to the hype of what they could deliver together. Banks has unfortunately been paired with a lot of the same opponents for the majority of her WWE career, so getting the opportunity for a 15 minute singles match with a new opponent who happens to be the best wrestler in NXT was mouthwatering.
The two women's impeccable yet merciless styles clicked together perfectly, as they chained moves together with trademark elegance before stomping the hell out of the other. Banks in particular sold like crazy, folding her body up whenever taking one of Io's devastating moves. At times, the match was more reminiscent of a Stardom main event than a traditional WWE one, adding to the impact of their pairing together.
The finish was perfect given the storylines heading in, keeping both women looking strong while providing a satisfying conclusion to the narrative being told. Hopefully they'll get plenty of chances to run this back given the excellence they delivered on their first time around. With a long term narrative and more time to work with each other, the possibilities are endless.
