#4. Former WWE Women's Champion Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks has become an inspiration for women all over the world throughout WWE's Women's Evolution. The Boss recently became one of the first African-American women to main-event WrestleMania, but came up short against Bianca Belair.

The former Champion has become a popular star throughout her career. She was able to open up about her own struggles behind the scenes whilst appearing on former WWE star Stone Cold Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions:

"Depression was taking over. My mind was taking over, my thoughts were taking over. This place was being bigger than me. And I really, really lost myself because, for a good seven years, I didn’t even hear my real name. I didn't hear Mercedes anymore. All I heard was Sasha Banks, and traveling on the road, we only get one to two days off. So, I'm home, not even seeing what my real hair looks like. All I see is purple hair every single day. There were just so many things that were just — I let it control me. I let it take it in and be like, 'This is too much,' instead of being like, 'You know what? Everything's good. Breathe. Everything's fine.'"

Banks revealed that she was forced to ask WWE for some time off. Vince McMahon allowed her to take some time to work on her mental health so that she could return a few months later and become The Boss once more.
