Sasha Banks Talks About Her Boss Gimmick

In an interview with the The Miami Herald, Sasha Banks talked about her time in NXT, her “Boss” gimmick and more. Here are highlights:

On the journey from her start to being NXT Women’s Champion: “From my mom telling me ‘no’ to now telling everyone I’m the champion, and she’s so proud of me — and to prove to a lot of people — who didn’t believe in me, who didn’t think I was going to be here — that I’m here, and I did it. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions; it’s amazing.”

On her “Boss” gimmick and ring gear: “I’ve always known that I wanted to be different. I wanted to stand out. So my gear is very elaborate, very blingy, very loud, because I want people to notice me, want to look like me. The Boss necklace, the ring. I want everything big.”

On the crowd’s reaction: “It’s really cool to see how many people try to imitate me or wear my stuff. I get a lot of Instagram videos of people doing my entrance. I think that’s so cool. To see the variety of people, little girls, guys, doing it. I never really thought that would happen. It’s amazing.”

On possibly working with her cousin Snoop Dogg: “I hope one day he can make my entrance music. All my family on that side are big WWE fans, huge.”
