Sasha Banks had a familiar feeling when making her debut on the runway.
Wrestling fans everywhere were taken by surprise last week when Sasha Banks, also known as Mercedes Varnado, popped up at New York Fashion Week alongside Naomi, who is also known as Trinity Fatu. The former multi-time women's champions made appearances in Mister Triple X and Jessica Jade shows.
Both Banks and Naomi have been rather silent since walking out of WWE back in May. Recently, she spoke with Page Six for an interview regarding her modeling debut. In the interview, Banks compared her debut on the runway to her debut in the squared circle.
"It felt chaotic. It felt like my first wrestling match all over again! I’m back to being the new girl. It felt like everyone was like, ‘Who’s this? Who’s taking my spot?’ But I just had to walk in with confidence like I knew what I was doing because this has been a dream of mine for such a long time, to be in the modeling space."
Banks made her in-ring debut back in 2010 at a New England Championship Wrestling event. Two years later, Banks made her in-ring debut for WWE in October 2012.
In a recent interview with Ahch-To Radio, Banks spoke about creating characters. To see her full comments on the matter, click here.
