Pretty much every pro wrestling fan knows that image matters in World Wrestling Entertainment, because this is something many performers have talked about during interviews. Even the legendary Jim Ross has encouraged fledgling WWE stars to really spend time thinking about their overall look, because it matters in the eyes of those in charge.

Sasha Banks was only too aware of this fact, and upon her signing to WWE, she sought out advice on what would help her stand out. Looking for inspiration for her in-ring wardrobe and overall style when appearing on television, Banks was impressed by pop-star Beyonce, admiring how she always turned heads with her outfits upon entering the room.

Going heavy on the bling, studs and diamonds, Sasha Banks also started wearing shades to help complete her look, and adopted the swaggering confidence that Beyonce displays when appearing in front of crowds. Using the nickname, 'The Boss' to reflect this new attitude, Banks took inspiration from one of the biggest names in pop music, and it has paid off.
