Sasha Banks Talks Stealing the Show at WrestleMania, WWE Possibly Exploring Inter-Gender Angles, Snoop Dogg at ‘Mania & More

WWE Diva Sasha Banks, the #1 contender to the WWE Divas Title at WrestleMania 32, recently spoke with Rolling Stone to promote the big event. Below are some highlights:

Fans have expressed some misgivings about this year’s WrestleMania matches. Does that set you, Charlotte and Becky up to potentially steal the show?

[Laughs] Have you see any of my matches boo-boo? I always steal the show, so it’s nothing new for me. I actually look at the card and I go, “Wow, yes, I’m definitely gonna steal the show.” I think this match is gonna open the doors for the women of WWE. This is a huge opportunity to show that not only can we hang with the boys, we can be better than the boys. I always want to have people talk about my matches. With this, I don’t add extra pressure on myself, but for sure, I know we can do it.

With so many male wrestlers hurt, maybe it’s time to seriously explore more inter-gender angles?

I definitely agree with that. I just think it takes time. I went from two-minute matches when I started with NXT to eight, to 10, to 12. I definitely think after this match at WrestleMania, we’re gonna be given more opportunities like that. Not only will we show it, we’re gonna demand it.

And in terms of going big, why haven’t we seen your cousin Snoop Dogg perform during your ring entrance yet?

[Laughs] Maybe you should watch WrestleMania and you might see it, you never know! I don’t need someone to walk me to the ring every week and hold my hand like Charlotte does, but Snoop can make an appearance once in a while. Some people need their daddy to hold their hand and walk them down to the ring, which is fine. Some people need fire to have an entrance, which is OK. But I’m a Boss. I don’t need that stuff.
