WWE Superstar Sasha Banks has expressed her desire to share the ring with a few dream opponents.

Banks is one of the most talented superstars in WWE today. She is one of the faces of the women's division and has been a key figure in what became known as the women's revolution.

Throughout the past few years, The Boss has shared the ring with several top superstars. Her list of opponents includes the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey. Nonetheless, the list is still missing a few names that Banks would like to face in a WWE match.

Banks has expressed her wish to have a few dream bouts in WWE. The Blueprint has challenged stars not just from WWE but also from other industries to a match. While some of them have answered Banks' challenge, others are yet to accept or decline.

Here are five dream opponents Sasha Banks has challenged to a WWE match.


#5. Sasha Banks wants to face WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon

Several female WWE Superstars have expressed their desire to square off against Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon. One of them is Sasha Banks.

During an interview with The Manchester Evening News in 2017, the former SmackDown Women's Champion challenged McMahon to a match.

"I would love to wrestle Stephanie McMahon. I would love to let her know that I am the boss of the WWE. She can just be the Princess, I’m the true boss," she said.

The Chief Brand Officer admires Banks and has acknowledged her as one of the biggest WWE Superstars today during an interview with The Wrap.

"Sasha is one of our biggest stars with some of the best charisma and potential. And on top of her athleticism and her storytelling abilities, she just shines. When she walks out, you pay attention. I love her attitude and just everything about her. So I think Sasha is really just getting started," McMahon said.

Despite Banks' desire to compete against her, McMahon does not plan on returning to the ring anytime soon. She recently revealed that she had had a little PTSD since facing Ronda Rousey a few years ago at WrestleMania.

Meanwhile, The Boss continues to perform regularly on SmackDown. She represented the blue brand in the 5-on-5 women's elimination match at Survivor Series against Team RAW. However, Team SmackDown lost the bout.

#4. Sasha Banks wants to face Nicki Minaj in WWE

Sasha Banks' list of dream opponents in WWE includes famous rapper, singer, and songwriter Nicki Minaj.

In the past few years, some WWE Superstars have expressed their desire to work with Minaj. Last July, Bianca Belair said that she would like to collaborate with the famous singer. She also stated that she is "in love" with Minaj.

Likewise, Banks has revealed that she would like to face Minaj. The former SmackDown Women's Champion named the rapper among her desired future WrestleMania opponents.

"I see myself main-eventing WrestleMania either against Nicki Minaj, Charlotte Flair, or Bayley. Those are my top three picks. Those are my top three picks. If I predicted that one last year, I feel like any of those are a WrestleMania-caliber match," she told Bleacher Report last month.

In the early 2000s, Minaj was part of The Hood$tars. The group sang the theme song of former WWE Superstar Victoria Don't Mess With 17 years ago.

If the 38-year-old decides to compete inside the squared circle, she would not be the first celebrity to do so. Many celebrities have competed in WWE over the past few decades. Famous rapper and singer Bad Bunny was the latest to join that list. He teamed up with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37.

#3. Sasha Banks wants to face WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is another name on Sasha Banks' list of desired future opponents. The Boss recently urged The Diva of the Decade to return to WWE. The two had a face-off during the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble match, where Banks eliminated Stratus. The Blueprint now wants a one-on-one bout with the seven-time Women's Champion.

During an appearance on The Bump last month, Banks challenged the Hall of Famer to a match.

"I’m waiting for Trish, it's all on her...I feel like she’s dodging me, not answering my calls. I’m all game, I’m all ready, I’m always ready! When Trish is ready for me, she knows where to find me. It’s time to rock and roll, Trish. Let’s do it," she said.

Stratus answered Banks' challenge during an interview with Toronto's VIBE 105 Sports. She praised Banks, saying that she is "an amazing athlete." The WWE Hall of Famer also disclosed that the idea is appealing to her.

A few days later, during her appearance on The Kurt Angle Show, the former SmackDown Women's Champion sent another message to Stratus.

"I'm so glad to hear that she is down. I know she is booked and busy. I know that she is a mother, but Trish, again, whenever you are ready, give me a call. I am best friends with Vince; I know that you're not! (laughs) I have his number on speed dial. So, if you need it, you can give her my number. You can text me if you have it, slide into my DMs, I'll let him know. It will make millions, baby! This is going to be the greatest match of all time. So, let's do it, Trish, get done with that work, put the kids to bed, and come fight me," Banks said.

Stratus has not wrestled in WWE since 2019. She last competed against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam three years ago but came up short.

#2. WWE Superstar Sasha Banks wants to face Floyd Mayweather

Sasha Banks has also challenged boxer Floyd Mayweather to a match.

Earlier this year, Mayweather came out of retirement to face YouTuber Logan Paul in an exhibition match. Nonetheless, the end of the bout was disappointing as Mayweather failed to knock the YouTuber out. Instead, the fight went on for eight rounds.

Following the match, Sasha Banks issued a challenge to the legendary boxer on Twitter.

"I want to fight @FloydMayweather next!" she tweeted.

While Banks has never entered the boxing ring, Mayweather has some experience competing in WWE. The 44-year-old boxer has made several WWE appearances.

In 2008, he was involved in a storyline with The Big Show in which he broke the current AEW star's nose. The two squared off at WrestleMania that same year, and Mayweather came out victorious.

In August the following year, the boxer guest-hosted RAW and got himself involved in some action.

#1. Sasha Banks wants to face the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is currently the WWE Universal Champion and the leader of SmackDown. Sasha Banks is also one of the blue brand's top superstars. A square-off between the two wrestlers is something Banks currently desires.

In an interview with GQ Magazine earlier this year, Banks issued a challenge to The Tribal Chief.

"I would love a singles match against Roman Reigns. Just to show that I really am the number one in the company," she said.

Banks and Reigns have worked together on-screen before in WWE. The former SmackDown Women's Champion teamed up with The Head of the Table five years ago on RAW. They squared off against Charlotte Flair and Rusev in a mixed tag team match and came out victorious.

Reigns have been dominating SmackDown since capturing the Universal Championship over a year ago. He successfully defended his title against several superstars, including John Cena, Edge, Rey Mysterio, and Brock Lesnar. The Head of the Table recently defeated the WWE Champion Big E at Survivor Series.
