Sasha Banks appeared on this week’s episode of “Hot Ones,” breaking down wrestling style and explaining how Snoop Dogg helped develop her ring persona. Here are some highlights…

On harsh realities of WWE (2:17): “I feel at ease when I’m in that square circle. The hardest reality is knowing that it’s a lot of politics, a lot of grueling, grueling traveling, which I didn’t realize how hard that would be…”

On being first cousins with Snoop Dogg & finding her nickname (3:12): “When I was around him, his bodyguards would always call him ‘boss’…And I was like, ‘That’s kind of catchy. That’s a good little nickname.’ So I was like, ‘Sasha Banks the Boss,’ and then it turned to ‘The Legit Boss.’”

On recovering from long matches like Iron Man (4:46): “Lots of wine. I love drinking wine after a match. It makes me really calm and relaxed.”

On her love for Boston (6:20): “I was in Boston when they won the Bruins championship. The whole town just came out of these restaurants and just went to the streets and started rallying…It was so crazy. That’s why I love Boston so much. Any time I go out in Boston and they say, ‘From Boston, Massachusetts…’ the crowd just erupts.
