Sasha Banks was famous before joining WWE on the independent circuit mostly for Chaotic Wrestling, where she held the title for Chaotic Wrestling Women's Championship. She has 4 championship reigns—being a record-tying four-time Raw Women's Champion.

Her match against Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Respect on October 7, 2015, was the first women's match to ever headline a major WWE event, the first women's Iron Man match, and the longest women's match in WWE history at the time with a length of 30 minutes. Their match was voted by Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as the Match of the Year.

Her talent is obvious as Banks was also voted as the Woman of the Year in 2015.

One surprising thing you may not know is that there’s a song written on Sasha’s childhood and her accomplishments from being a child and watching wrestling to becoming a talented young woman and pro wrestler herself. It was performed by the Mountain Goats and called ‘Song for Sasha Banks’.
