There's clearly no shortage of young experts in the wrestling game today, men and women whose skills ensure that the business will be in good hands for years to come. Still, most of them haven't gotten big-match experience yet - they've competed in front of smaller crowds or they've worked lower in the card, waiting to prove themselves on a huge stage. Not Sasha Banks. The 24-year-old Banks, who joined NXT in 2012 and helped make the brand's women's division the talk of wrestling, is already a proven main eventer. After she and rival Bayley stole the show in front of more than 15,000 fans at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, both women were called upon to headline NXT's next TakeOver special, Respect. In a thirty-minute Iron Man match, Banks once again proved she was a star. "The Boss's" incredible skill has contributed to some of the greatest women's wrestling matches in American history, and it looks like she'll soon have the most important match of her career - Banks is rumored to take on Charlotte for the WWE Divas' Championship in front of nearly 100,000 fans at WrestleMania 32. What could very well be the best match of the entire show will undoubtedly grab the fans at AT&T Stadium and be another major moment in Banks's burgeoning legacy.
