Sasha Banks is in awe of Bianca Belair.
Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair made history at WrestleMania 37 in multiple ways. Not only were they the first two black women who ever headline WrestleMania, but they are also the first women to headline WrestleMania in a singles match.
Behind the scenes, Bianca Belair also makes her own gear, something very few wrestlers have done. Speaking about her WrestleMania 37 opponent on Mark Andrew’s podcast, My Love Letter to Wrestling, Sasha Banks called Bianca one of the breakout success stories that she's seen first-hand in the industry and credited her ability to not only balance her time between wrestling, family, and gear-making but also taking to the industry so naturally having not had a wrestling background.
"To have our schedule and to still make gear, and to be a wife, to be an athlete, and to do so much. I'm like, You are legit. Whatever 'The EST' means to you, you are it. and to have someone so talented to come in so fast and just kind of get it so well is very rare, and to have not an independent background in wrestling, that is just so crazy to me. That's just natural talent."
Sasha and Bianca have yet to run back their WrestleMania match on a premium live event. They were supposed to work again at SummerSlam 2021 but instead, that was the night Becky Lynch returned and defeated Bianca Belair in less than 30 seconds. Becky Lynch revealed that was the way the company wanted her to turn heel. Learn more here.
