‘Emotional’ Sasha Banks Recalls NXT TakeOver Match W/ Bayley; WWE Searching For Creative Writer’s Assistant

‘Emotional’ Sasha Banks Recalls NXT TakeOver Match W/ Bayley

WWE has released a video featuring an emotional Sasha Banks recalling her memorable NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn match against Bayley. The bout is widely considered one of the greatest women’s matches of all time, as is the rematch, the first ever Women’s Iron Man Match at NXT TakeOver: Respect.

Banks opened up about her feelings after having lost the bout to Bayley, “When Bayley won I just kind of laid there and started crying.”

That’s when Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair made their way to the ring, “Then Charlotte and Becky came out and I was laying on the floor and was like, ‘I have to come in here.’ I came in, gave her a hug and she told me not to leave. I told her I didn’t want to leave and it was so hard because she was so special to me.”

Inevitably the two would go on to have the historic first ever Women’s Iron Man Match, which Bayley won with a last second submission fall. Banks recalls her feelings when the two women were, as a sign of respect, met by the entire NXT roster on the entrance ramp. Banks describes what she was feeling during that memorable moment, “I just did something so incredible special. I just made history and then I remember getting out of the ring and walking back and I look back and the whole roster was there. Just knowing how hard that they all worked and knowing that I earned everyone’s respect, it felt like everything I always wanted. I always wanted to be at the same level as the guys and have the same respect that they get and have the same praise that they got. What a cool moment.”

All of this is a part of the brand new Sasha Banks WWE Network Collection available for streaming now.
