10 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Sasha Banks
9. "Pam"
The deep-rooted affection between Sasha Banks and Bayley is as apparent now as it was all those years ago in NXT, but her persistent use of 'The Hugger's real name Pam during this documentary as well as their moments shared on screen here again reflect how easy (and, in a way, important) it is to rely on co-dependency once in a while.
Sasha noted how she'd barely been addressed by her real name during her time in the WWE system, which is perhaps why the pair place such importance on these particular terms within their friendship.
The constant presence of "Pam" for all the major moments to do with Sasha's August comeback spoke volumes - she was there shielding her face in their shared journey to Raw, on and off the bus Sasha was forced to sit on all day waiting for her moment, and even in Gorilla with her helping her find the fire before she made her triumphant return.
The pair made magic together as kayfabe opponents once upon a time, but it's clear that reality sustains an even greater part of their bond.
