Sasha Banks is the most over wrestler on the planet.

The list is complete now.

Thank you for reading.

Thankfully, there's no impetus to criticise Sasha Banks and draw the ire of her...very passionate fanbase, because she's amazing at what she does. Without being too theatrical about it and breaking the immersion for the sake of a GIF, Banks sells everything like death with her fiercely committed approach. The balance of her act is superb; her knee strikes and ability to rapidly transition into submission attempts create wild swings in momentum that draw loud gasps from a WWE crowd that is generally as dead as NXT these days.

The existence of said hardcore base is probably sufficient to place her on this list alone. Banks is beloved by her biggest fans to an incomparable level, and it's easy to determine why: the in-ring work is tremendous, but the sheer style and presence Banks possesses is that of an undeniable superstar.

Really, she should be bigger than she is, but WWE's scripting makes that difficult. That she's so cool in spite of it says so much about her aura.
