In an interview with WWE’s official website, WWE NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks commented on being the Champion, her future as the Champion, whether she sees herself as a role model and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On whether she sees herself as a role model to younger girls: “I believe I am. Bayley, for all her hugs and lovingness can be a bit naive, I think that type of inspirational figure can leave girls a bit vulnerable in the real world. I’m showing young girls that to be a big deal in life, you have to be a big deal inside, you have to believe that nothing in this world is too farfetched and if you want something bad enough, you can’t let anyone tell you that you’re not good enough to achieve it. In order to be a star, you have o walk, talk and act like a star.”
On her future as WWE NXT Women’s Champion: “I’ve got the NXT Women’s Championship around my waist, that was the easy part, now, it’s time to broaden the horizon, it’s time to show the world how big the NXT Universe is and how Sasha Banks is the brightest star in it. Then and only then will I set my sights on much bigger fish, hey, WWE Divas, I hope you’re ready.”
