10 Moments That Made Sasha Banks WWE's MVP
6. That First Hell In A Cell Match
Then, they'd only go and top it.
The hype was real heading into that first women's Hell In A Cell encounter at the 2016 pay-per-view of the same name. If the pressure had been there for their prior triple threat with Becky, then Sasha and Charlotte must've been feeling double that come HIAC. They'd only get one chance to make a first impression.
It sounds so silly now, but some fans at the time were concerned that a female Cell bout would tank. A probable lack of blood was touted as one reason, which is rather daft considering it was rare across the board (not just in the women's division). Nah, folks had sod all to worry about.
Banks vs. Flair became one of the hottest feuds in WWE history when refs locked the cage doors and let them have at it inside the famous structure. Being handed the main event slot was also a huge show of faith in both women, and another sign that Sasha was en route to mega-stardom.
