10 Things You Didn't Know About Sasha Banks
3. Her Mum Made Her Stop Watching Wrestling
As a fresh-faced young teenage girl, the future Sasha Banks was flicking through channels on television, looking for something to cure her boredom. Stumbling across a WWE show, she was transfixed by what she was seeing on-screen, but shockingly her mother wasn't so keen to let her daughter watch professional wrestling.
Asking her to turn it off, Sasha's mother would have likely been furious had she caught Banks promptly agreeing, before heading on through to her younger brother's room and switching on his TV instead to continue staring slack-jawed at the bright, colourful action she was seeing before her. It seems unlikely that such a negative reaction from her parent would have continued over the years, but things could have been different if her sibling didn't have a television in his room.
According to banks now, her mum is far more tolerant of wrestling, because she can see the passion her child has for the industry. In fact, her mother even phones Banks after matches, getting especially irate if she has lost, because she wants to know why!
