10 Best Sasha Banks Matches In WWE
3. Sasha Banks Vs. Bayley (NXT TakeOver Respect)
Between the ropes, this might just be the best narrative Sasha's ever told. While the next two entries on this list are monumental because of their wrestling and their contexts, this is the type of contest where if you'd never seen Bayley or Sasha before, you'd know exactly how to feel, who to root for and get immediately invested.
Their rematch for the NXT Women's Title in a 30 minute Iron Man match might not have been quite as good as their masterpiece from Brooklyn, but the half hour flies by. Their wrestling and chemistry together is simply indescribable and Banks' heel actions are on another level entirely, with the psychological destruction towards Bayley's superfan Izzy being one of the most effective heel actions in WWE history.
Sasha's performance here played perfectly off of the intimacy that Full Sail crowds get from the product, making her egotistical, cruel actions feel genuinely personal to everyone in that building, only to definitively put over their greatest success story. The finish is one of the most thrilling and cathartic moments in NXT history, only to be matched by the emotion of the post match celebration. It is a modern classic and was the perfect send-off to Banks' perfect run in NXT.
