Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax: Raw, July 10, 2017

Current WWE superstar Sasha Banks spoke with Stuff during her recent trip to Australia and New Zealand. She discussed a number of topics, but focused mainly on the continuation of the advancement of female wrestling across the world.

The advancement of women is professional sports is not just limited to wrestling. According to Banks, females across multiple genres are coming to prominence and proving that they are just as capable as men.

“From Ronda Rousey, to the US soccer team, to Serena Williams, women are just killing it in sports around the world,” says the 25-year-old.

Banks also commented on the transition from being known as ‘divas’ to ‘superstars.’

“Five years ago we weren’t given this opportunity that we’re having now to be equal to the men,” she says.

“Just two years ago we were considered Divas, that was our brand name, and we had a championship that was in the shape of a butterfly.

“I was like ‘this is not us, we’re not divas, we’re superstars’. And so two years ago we changed that.”

They also discuss her hope for future female athletes, her time in New Zealand and more.
