The New York Stock Exchange recently spoke to WWE Superstar Sasha Banks, and she discussed her upcoming match at Summerslam and her plans to steal the show. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

On her title match against Alexa Bliss: “Braun said that’s [Fatal 4-Way] the match to see, but that’s funny that the women always end up stealing the show and [tonight] is no different. I’m going up against Alexa Bliss and I’m going to become a four time RAW Women’s Champion, because I’m the ‘Legit Boss’ of the WWE.”

On becoming a WWE Superstar: “I loved it since I was a child. The moment that I saw WWE I knew right away that this is what I wanted to do. So once I turned 18, I found a wrestling school, I kept on emailing WWE and asking for tryouts, and now I’m here. A four time RAW Women’s Champion, first woman to ever main event a RAW, and a RAW pay-per-view (PPV), and I’ve just been killing it ever since. It’s legit a dream come true that I get to do this each and every single say.”

On preparing for a match: “A lot of studying for me. Just being in my zone, being calm. I like to watch a lot of matches before my matches just to kind of get me in my zone and get me prepared. So this Sunday I’ve just been practicing a lot, training really hard, hitting the gym really hard, making sure I try and get as much sleep as I can, which is really hard, but that’s about it.”

On her message for fans before Summerslam: “It’s gonna be an amazing show and I can’t wait to see all my fans. I’m going to steal the show like I always do.”
