10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 2)
8. Sasha Banks Is Aiming For WWE 2K18 Cover
Sometimes, interviews with current WWE talent can become thinly-veiled excuses for wrestlers to play up their on screen characters and attempt to further ongoing storylines. There were elements of that when Sasha Banks spoke with Sports Illustrated this week, but 'The Boss' also opened up slightly to reveal a major goal she's determined to achieve in the next year or so.
Soon, WWE will begin pushing the WWE 2K17 video game on television. This is an annual occurrence, and Brock Lesnar is the cover star for this iteration of the long-running franchise. For Banks, it would represent real progress for the female revolution if a woman was chosen as the lead cover star next time.
In late-2017, WWE and 2K Games will release WWE 2K18. During her chat with Sports Illustrated, Banks said she had two major goals in mind for the near future. Firstly, she wants to headline WrestleMania (or another major WWE pay-per-view). Secondly, she wants to be featured on the box art for the annual WWE video game title.
This is not an objective many would have guessed, but it's a cool idea.
