10 Things You Didn't Know About Sasha Banks

Making her main roster debut as part of a well-received segment on the July 13th, 2015 episode of Monday Night Raw, Sasha Banks had previously been a revelation down in WWE's developmental system, NXT. Tearing up that program along with her peers, Banks earned rave reviews for her performances against the likes of Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch.

It's hard to envision many fans feeling anything other than happiness over the fact that WWE management have chosen to move some of these women up the ladder, because their hard work on NXT deserves to be rewarded with spots on the main roster. For Sasha Banks, this represents a real chance for her to show what regular fans of NXT already know, she's a terrific heel, one who can be of real value to the Divas division.

Wanting to be a WWE star since the age of 10, there are many things even the most hardcore of wrestling fans don't know about the new member of 'Team BAD'. For example, who was her favourite wrestler growing up? Who inspired her defined style and the design of her outfits? Furthermore, what are some of the little tidbits that WWE enthusiasts might be surprised to learn about Sasha Banks?

The answers are all here, and then some. 'The Boss' has had an interesting route to the top of the pro wrestling industry, and it seems there's a lot more to come from Banks  - who is still only 23 - as the years roll on.

Given that Sasha Banks is 23 years old, it makes sense that some of her favourite memories happened when Eddie Guerrero was on top of his game. In 2004, Guerrero was WWE Champion, and Banks would have been a sprightly young teenager when the Latino star vanquished Brock Lesnar at the No Way Out Pay-Per-View in February of that year to bag the title.

During an interview with WWE.com in early-2014, Banks revealed that Guerrero was her favourite performer of all time, mainly because he truly seemed to believe in himself. Citing the fact that he may not have been the biggest, Sasha said she was "captivated" by Eddie's overwhelming belief in his own ability, and found him the most inspiring wrestler in the entire company.

Going further, Banks even remarked that whilst CM Punk may have routinely referred to himself as "The Best In The World", Eddie Guerrero proved he was just that and more each and every time he stepped foot inside the ring. At the time the article was published, Punk was still under contract to WWE, so it's somewhat surprising to read these words on the promotion's official site, but just shows how fond of Guerrero the Diva was growing up.
