10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2017
7. Sasha Banks Publicly Blasted Alexa Bliss
At first, it seemed like Sasha Banks was only working a feud vs. Alexa Bliss on the 9 July 2017 episode of Raw talk that aired immediately after the Great Balls Of Fire pay-per-view. However, Banks went to town on Alexa and called her a liar for saying she grew up watching wrestling and loved WWE. Yikes!
The whole segment was a tad awkward, because host Renee Young kept trying to move on. Sasha was having none of it. During her rant, which included comments like: “Look, you don’t have to come from the indies to be here, but you do have to respect it!”, Banks tore through Bliss. This wasn't one wrestler working another.
It was vicious.
Sasha even used words like "heel" when ranting, which was a no-no in Vince McMahon's WWE. It's worth noting that she and Alexa did work extensively against one another throughout the year (including at SummerSlam), but they apparently didn't see eye to eye as people behind the curtain.
