10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 12)
1. Shawn Michaels Told Sasha Banks She Was His Favourite Wrestler
After headlining the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view alongside her real-life friend Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks must be loving life. Despite online reports from The Wrestling Observer suggesting that Vince McMahon wasn't happy with the finish of the Cell bout, Banks and Charlotte can look back on the match with pride.
Something else that must make 'The Boss' proud is a brief conversation she had with one of WWE's greatest ever performers. Granting an interview to the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Sasha told how she was approached backstage by the legendary Shawn Michaels. That was the first surprise to Banks, and there was another to come.
Saying hello, Sasha couldn't believe it when she heard Michaels say that she was his favourite wrestler on the current WWE roster. That's high praise indeed, especially coming from someone as world class between the ropes as Shawn Michaels.
Even talking about the incident, it was easy to hear slight embarrassment in Sasha's voice. Clearly, she was struggling to deal with news that huge coming from a childhood idol.
