Sasha Banks opened up on the frequency of Vince McMahon's script changes during an interview with the 'Normal Not Normal' podcast.

The current SmackDown Women's Champion admitted that the WWE boss often switches up scripts "on you in 30 seconds - in a heartbeat". That can make promo segments on live TV tough, but Banks also said that being able to react to these changes is pivotal to one's success in the company.

In other words, it kinda' comes with the territory and she doesn't really have a problem with it.

Sasha described the constant motion of WWE's creative process as "exciting", and used words like "legendary", "crazy" and "iconic" to sum up McMahon's approach. Then, she re-emphasised "crazy" and reiterated Vince's apparent need to "change things in an instant".

The 'Legit Boss' doesn't mind when her actual gaffer throws her out on screen without a script either. She enjoys the chance to come up with her own verbiage and flex her creative muscles.

Banks' comments were all 100% positive. That might come as a slight surprise, because most wrestling fans would probably hazard a guess that WWE's constant script changes are annoying.
