10 Times WWE's Sasha Banks Was The Best Wrestler In The World
9. Her TV Match Of The Year With Io Shirai
Io Shirai and Sasha Banks are two of the best wrestlers in the world right now. They have done miraculous work this year, having several opportunities to showcase just how talented they are as technicians and storytellers. A big reason for their years being so special is the TV classic that they had together at the first night of The Great American Bash special, where they got 15 minutes to showcase just how much greatness they could create.
Shirai was the popular NXT women's champion who could cement herself as a living legend by pinning The Boss, Banks was the upcoming challenger for Asuka's Raw Women's Championship and needed to vanquish Shirai to prove she was worthy of another world title reign. The two fought with all the urgency that describes, brutalising each other with desperate strikes, fluid transitions and some of the most breathtaking wrestling sequences you're likely to see in the world right now.
Something that was so special about this miraculous contest was how much they left out, giving audiences everywhere the insight into what a full feud between the two could look like one day. A masterpiece and proof of how brilliant Sasha is.
