10 Secret Debuts Of Famous Wrestlers
WWE

Sasha Banks has shared images of the wrestlers she met during her times attending WWE shows (including WrestleMania XXVIII) with megastar cousin Snoop Dogg, and has spoke at length about attending the Eddie Guerrero tribute taping unaware that he'd passed until she arrived at the arena, but her first appearance on Monday Night Raw came on a big night for the brand and thanks to some of the best seats in the building.

'The Boss' can be spotted during the various throws to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler on the 900th edition of the show in August 2010, and at one point even waves to the camera as the pair pontificate on the night's action.

Having trained for two years, she'd made her own in-ring debut just two weeks before this taping for NECW World Women's Wrestling in Massachusetts. WWE was still the dream, but she'd never been closer to achieving it.
