The heart of the matter
Sasha Banks insinuated her belief that women ought to be given the opportunity to headline Wrestlemania; stating—
“My main goal is to feature in the main event of Wrestlemania. It is the biggest dream of any WWE wrestler and although there has never been an all-woman main event, I think it is about time…We have already done great things like the Money in the Bank this year and it is my goal to create history by headlining the biggest show of the company.”
“To come from a place where we (female stars) used to be called Divas, now we are known as superstars just like the men. To have so much history, being involved in so many first-time matches…It is exciting to be a part of such a big women’s division and I hope for the future to come, we just keep on dominating and showing the world that women’s wrestlers is where it is at and we are doing great things.”
Furthermore, Banks emphasised her gratefulness toward WWE for giving Superstars the chance to travel the world, adding that she’d love to have a proper tour of India. The "Legit Boss" also asked Indian fans to Tweet her the places to visit when she arrives with the WWE entourage.
