Sasha Banks on Her Biggest Goal in WWE
During an interview earlier this month with The Hindustan Times, Sasha Banks said that her biggest goal in WWE is to headline a WrestleMania both as a personal achievement and to make more history for women’s wrestling in WWE.
“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.”
