6 Photos of WWE Superstar Sasha Banks she might prefer you didn't see

Sasha Banks is the self-appointed Boss of WWE and is arguably one of the biggest stars in the company's women's division.

In around five years on what many refer to as WWE's 'main roster', Banks has racked up headline matches, main events, and Championship reigns aplenty.

But as well as being one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the company, The Boss also takes charge in plenty of other aspects. I've said many times: run through the women's roster on RAW or SmackDown - can you honestly name someone who talks better than Sasha, or possesses the kind of sass and attitude that she brings out week after week?

There really are very few, if any.

That said, Banks relies heavily on her style and her image and, at the moment, thanks to her heel persona, makes no bones about the fact that she feels she's better than not only all of her fellow performers but WWE's fans, too.

With that in mind, Banks may not be too pleased with the selection of images we have for you today, as they shatter the illusion that she's an elitist without compare.

Stand by; we have six photos of Sasha Banks she might prefer you didn't see.

#6 Rabbit in the headlights?

Sasha's confidence is arguably her most dominant trait. No matter what she's doing, nobody does it or says it better than her - or at least that's what she'd tell you.

This image, therefore, is a great way to remind everyone and the sassy Sasha herself that there was a time where, quite apart from knowing it all, she actually knew very little.

This WWE snap of her at the Performance Center shows a side of Sasha most of us will never have seen. She looks a little uneasy in front of the camera, and when's the last time that was the case?

#5. Wedded bliss

Now let's get the context of this photo right straight away. There's nothing negative or unkind anyone can say about a photo of anyone on their wedding day, and this is no exception.

However, while we're happy to see Sasha looking so pleased on her special day, it does shatter some of her brash persona. Consider it this way - when you think of Sasha, you think cocky, assured, dominant, right?

You don't necessarily imagine The Boss cuddled up on the couch on a Friday night watching DVDs with her husband, right? That just doesn't seem her style.

Alas, here we have a candid photo of Sasha's wedding to husband Sarath Ton. The pair were wedded back in 2016.

For his part, Ton himself wrestles as Kid Mikaze. He made fleeting appearances in WWE in 2015 but has since worked for the company as a costume designer.

It may be a great photo but, such is Sasha Banks' attitude and swag, we wouldn't want to be in Ton's shoes if an argument breaks out over who needs to do the dishes!

#4. Just like you and I

If there's one thing you can be sure of from Sasha Banks and her character at the moment, it is that the former RAW Women's Champion feels she's better than anybody in the business - and anyone watching it, for that matter.

Regularly playing up to her heel role on social media, she often swipes at fans and fellow performers, and continuously keeps bigging up Vince McMahon, praising him for all the money he's helped her make over the years.

But while Sasha's character of 2020 suggests she's on top of the world and doesn't need a thing from the likes of us, the truth is that she is, in actual fact, just like the rest of it. Stripping away all of her bravado and accolades, she's a WWE fan at heart, who fell in love with the business by watching it on television and attending live events.

That's proved by this photo of her at ringside at an event years ago. Banks posted it on her own Instagram platform but, it's safe to say, you have to look hard and far to find it now.

Banks may not seem necessarily humble when you see her on Friday nights, but, in truth, her beginnings were humble indeed.

#3. Still needing to grind

Sasha Banks has to work hard for her gains just like everyone else

As we've already discussed at length, Sasha Banks is one of WWE's most decorated Superstars of all time.

As we’ve noted, she is a celebrated former Champion but has a unique experience that very few can offer, having participated in the likes of the first women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, the maiden women’s Royal Rumble bout, and the first Hell in a Cell bout to involve women.

Sasha will tell you, however, that all of this has come easily to her. After all, she's the world's gift to WWE, a gifted, talented star and someone for whom the hard things in life come easy.

Again, that's what she'll tell you. What's worth remembering, though, is that underneath all of that, Sasha still has to grind and get a sweat going even when she's not headlining WrestleManias.

This is a great shot of her working out at the gym. While she looks fantastic, it's worth noting that it's a rare glimpse of The Boss without much of the bling and glam we're so used to seeing from her. Underneath the gloss, she's all muscle and bone.

#2. Banks the technician

Sasha Banks knows more ways to tangle in the ring than she might let on.

Sasha Banks is, to many, all talk. Like all classic heel wrestlers, she lets her mouth do a lot of her business for her, and isn't necessarily always there to be found when there's a fight to be had or a babyface to confront.

As a babyface herself, Banks' list of memorable matches is incredible, as we noted in the previous slide. Even then, however, it's a point to consider that Banks doesn't always use all the tools in her arsenal when it comes to tackling an opponent, whether she's a heel or babyface.

And I think that's a shame. Banks is, I believe, a gifted technical wrestler, and certainly far more so than she is given credit for, or even gives herself credit for.

Remember those cool kids at school that were more concerned with being the popular guys and girls, or more worried about what they'd be doing at lunch than their studies, even though they were actually super bright?

For me, that's Banks. As this photo of her giving Bayley a tough day at the office shows, she's capable of tying opponents into knots and playing her part in a classic wrestling match, and is more than just Bank Statements and Boss beatdowns.

#1. She wasn't always the boss

Sasha didn't always know what she was going for...

At some point during each and every one of our slides, we've touched on Sasha Banks' most significant attribute; her style. It's her look, her swagger, and her confidence. It's what defines her and makes her what she.

But while Sasha would probably have you believe that she was born wearing those cross-shades and came into the world with as much sass as she now shows in WWE every week, it's actually true that this couldn't be further from the truth.

We've shown you already that she was always a WWE fan at heart, and as this latest photo shows, she hadn't fully transitioned into The Boss when she broke through to NXT and started performing regularly, either.

While her outfit says she's The Boss, this version of Sasha suggests otherwise. In the relatively early days of the persona, she appears to be searching for the identity that she'd later make her own.

While she still looks good in it, could you see the 2020 Sasha Banks coming to the ring with look and outfit?
