10 Useless Pieces Of Wrestling Trivia You Still NEED To Know

9. Seth Rollins Has Defended The Raw Women's Championship MORE Than Sasha Banks

She may be one of the famous Four Horsewomen, picked up numerous championships, produced a ton of iconic displays in between the ropes, and continued to impress outside of the world of WWE, but Sasha Banks (a.k.a. Mercedes Mone) still hasn't actually done one rather specific thing in her career.

Despite holding the Raw Women's Championship a grand total of five times during her run in the world of sports entertainment, Banks never once defended that title successfully on TV.

In fact, it took her a surprising amount of time to defend any women's singles strap on the main roster after making her official debut in July 2015, finally doing so against old pal Bayley after holding onto the SmackDown Women's belt in November 2020.

Jumping back to the red brand's women's belt, though, and you'll likely be just as shocked to learn that current World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins actually boasts more defences of that title than the multiple-time champ.

'The Visionary' helped his wife Becky Lynch keep hold of the championship in a Last Chance Winners Take All Extreme Rules match at the titular 2019 PLE.

You're forgiven for erasing that whole bizarre program from your memory.

But after helping 'The Man' retain against Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin, Rollins remarkably pulled ahead of 'The Boss' in the Raw Women's Championship defences league.
