Over the weekend, current WWE Smackdown Superstar Sasha Banks stopped by The Kurt Angle Show, for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During her conversation with WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, "The Boss" revealed her initial reaction to WWE signing former UFC star Ronda Rousey. Banks also walked down memory lane, and reflected on a classic match with Rousey. Check out the highlights below.
On her reaction to Ronda Rousey signing with WWE:
“I can only speak for myself. There might be a little tension, I don’t know [about] real heat. I was pissed off that Ronda Rousey could come in, get more money than me, get a [better] locker room than me, and bring all these people backstage and get more time than me. I’m like, ‘Excuse me? Who is you and what you do?’ Besides respecting everything she’s done in the UFC and the fight world, when it comes to the squared circle, that’s my home. That’s where I’m the legit boss, not Ronda Rousey. So, there could have been a lot of tension from that. The other three, I just didn’t know. I didn’t even know why they call themselves the Four Horsewomen. I was like, ‘Thank you so much for being a fan, but that is our trademark,’ second, after Ric Flair in WCW.”
On her Royal Rumble 2019 clash with Rousey:
“I’m so down to working with Ronda again. I loved our match at Royal Rumble. To have a match with somebody that doesn’t have the professional wrestling background and was so new and fresh, I love challenges like that. She got it so quick because she did love it and was a fan and because of her fighting background, she knew how to take things and it just kind of flowed so easily and naturally for her. She was awesome to work with, and I would love to have another match with her.”
