Sasha Banks Was "P*ssed" When THIS Woman Joined WWE

One WWE hire really annoyed Sasha Banks, and she doesn't mind admitting it.

Sasha Banks was not thrilled when she found out that WWE wanted to sign Ronda Rousey years ago.

The 'Legit Boss' told Kurt Angle's podcast (during a rare interview edition of the Olympian's show) that she was actually "p*ssed off" by the thought of Ronda coming in. Sasha just couldn't shake the knowledge that Rousey, as a major incoming celebrity star, would "get more money than [her], get a better locker room than [her], bring all these people backstage and get more time than [her]".

That made her pretty darn angry before she'd even met the ex-UFC fighter.

Angle listened intently as Banks said she felt like approaching Ronda and asking, "Excuse me. Who are you and what do you do?". The WWE star viewed pro wrestling as her domain, and it didn't sit well that someone so new to the biz would automatically leap ahead of her.

Things calmed down once Sasha properly met Rousey and realised how much passion she had for wrestling. Then, they worked together at the 2019 Royal Rumble - Banks really enjoyed that one, and is interested in a rematch sometime in the future.
