Same she means a lot to me and I love her so much and she is so amazing at what she does
Sasha is just the best. Glad she talked about feeling numb to everything in wrestling and taking a break to find the love she had for it again.
Great interview. Loved this.
For me Sasha has to be the best pure female wrestler, her vs Charlotte in Hell In A Cell was my favourite women's match of all time. The hell Sasha put her body through in that match was crazy.
Eddie Guerrero also got me into WWE along with John Cena back in 2003 when i was 14 , then the Undertaker when they turned him into an undefeatable superman in 2004 , wish i started from the Attitute Era but still i'm not complaining cause 2003-2004 was a GREAT time to watch this on Television without Internet...
The standard, the blueprint!!! 💙
It’s amazing that Sasha has done all of these things and she’s not even 30 yet. 👀
Great interview... She made of who when I had first started looking at wrestling till this today Sasha banks is definitely the goat The legit boss The standard The blueprint

This is awesome seeing Ariel interviewing WWE employees. keep up the good work. He needs to interview the Undertaker next and BTW Sasha is smoking hot.
Great interview Sasha!!
Glad to see a woman wrestler remember and pay tribute to Eddie besides rey mysterio.
Just a note here: Kudos to Ariel for this format. I can't STAND the side-by-side squares. It feels impersonal. This feels like a true interview, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Eddie Guerrero my favorite of all time !!!
I thought it was going to be awkward after Ariel said it was his least favorite interview. I don't know what I'm missing? Guess he wanted her to be more real and get out of character? But yeah I'm confused.
The Boss Sasha Banks 🐐
Sasha Banks vs Trish Stratus, this NEEDS to happen…Sasha IS a pioneer in Women’s wrestling. She’s already had a Hall of Fame worthy career, if she stopped today. But of course we want her to win a lot more and create a lot more great moments before she calls it a career.
It’s Bo$$ Time!!💙
Came here to watch after Ariel says its his worst interview ever as she stayed in character the whole time. Am I missing something? Seems like a normal interview to me?
I love that idea! Sasha main event both nights!? Becomes number one contender for both Raw and SD titles and main both nights?? Sign me up! Also love Sasha mindset on main eventing either night is good.

Nah he is talking about the Sasha Banks character maybe it was the Eddie and Vickie question at the start. I don't think he didn't like her being that way but it's more him being self critical of not seeing that she stays in character while in the interview.

Just misperception imo she doesn’t mean bad. She’s just being Sasha Banks. And she’s very passionate about making history. It’s a beautiful trait to have is being ambitious. It comes off negatively because no one wants to take the time to understand people’s intentions without assumptions
Wow
here after MMA hour today
Ariel hating on her right out the gate!!! “COME ON YOUR FAVORITE SURVIVOR SERIES WAS ONE U WON… PFFFFF” SMOOTH PENGUINATOR 🕺
I think Sasha is lying about why she wanted to be released from WWE in 2019. She didnt explain why she didnt "give her all and having to find herself". She wanted to quit because Vince and Creative treated her and Bailey like a joke with the WWE Womens Tag Team Titles. They both really wanted to make Women's tag team wrestling important and make the titles feel valued. She wasn't booked properly in 2019 and I dont blame her. Sasha is the greatest Womens wrestler of all time and she knows herself, if Creative dont value her and dont have her at the top, she'll go somewhere else. She knows how good she is. Obviously if Sasha said that in this interview she would get into major trouble with the higher ups.

@@radicalstanza3614 What's an "actual" sports journalist? He covers MMA which is the best sport in the world, he is not welcomed by the main organization but still has his own space and does the best job in bringing out the real personality of probably the toughest people in the world. It's a very different ball game to ask questions to Ronaldos and Messis of the world who play with balls than to people who have killer mentality. "Real" sport there isn't anything more real than mixed martial arts boy.

This interview was a little weird for me... Almost looked like an SNL skit... Sasha is classic and awesome, and such an energetic character... And she is staying in character... And he is all serious, like he is interviewing Gandhi lol... Even many of his questions were all serious and sometimes boring, but she turned them around and made them exciting with her response and energy...

Yup, watch her interviews from before she returned in 2019 and changed her whole personality, she was so much more likeable. And apparently that’s when she was playing a “character”. Funny how that version of herself seemed way more genuine and likeable than her current self Her hot ones interview from 2018 that got her the role in the Mandalorian was amazing, she came across so natural and likeable. Shame

I dont get her appeal.
Both goons
I genuinely don’t get what people see in her. She hasn’t had a good match in years. She still is one of the worst on the entire roster when it comes to promos. And it’s beyond obvious that her ego is on the same level as CM Punk, which is an insult, not a compliment. Forget the Legit Boss. I legitimately hope she doesn’t come back to WWE.
Ariel seemed suspicious. Look how Chris and any other person interviewed her. This one definitely seemed a bit awkward not on Sasha banks end.
