A two-decade veteran of the squared circle, Sumie Sakai is one of the most recognized faces on the independent circuit. The Japanese star has worked for almost all of the major independent promotions both in her home country, Japan and in the United States. She has also dabbled in Mixed Martial Arts with a 2-4 record.

Sakai has been a legend and a trailblazer in the independent scene and was one of the first Joshi wrestlers to truly make it in North America. She is also the inaugural holder of Ring of Honor's Women of Honor Championship.

Banks, on the other hand, has also built quite a resume for herself during her time in WWE. She is a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, NXT Women's Champion and a four-time RAW Women's Champion. Much like Sakai, Banks has also been a trailblazer.

A match between Sakai and Banks is something that wrestling fans would love to see, given the kind of impact that both these women have had on women's wrestling. Both Banks and Sakai are known to be submission specialists. Expect to see a lot of submission holds and incredible athleticism, if these two were to ever cross paths.
