What you loved:
- Gimmick - Just to compare, she's gone from this to this. Talk about an impressive transformation! Known as "The Boss", Sasha has committed 100% to the gimmick, with eye-popping outfits, and, dare I say, Ambrose-level mannerisms.
- Bank Statement - A creative 1-2 punch finisher.
- Mic - Solid talker, being in and out of stables has helped her promo abilities.
- Potential - Fair to say almost everybody has potential in NXT, but she is in the top tier of future stars.
- Best Heel - Some of you felt she is #1 in the women's division.

"Where the hell do I start? I love that she’s an amazing actress who gets her character across perfectly. I love that she’s fantastic in the ring. I love that she manages to pull off some very strange clothes and makes them look good. I love that she gives Charlotte shit and pointed out how heavily she relies on her father’s name. I love that she fucked up Bayley, as well. I love that she managed to corrupt Becky and formed Team BAE. I love that she’s beautiful and confident and snarky and amazing in all the ways. She’s just so brilliant. I love her."

What you loathed:
- Roster Call-Up - A favorite trend for people in NXT, we fear when Creative gets their hands on new talent.
- Ratchet Chant - Her gimmick may be the closest in the WWE to this word, but Sasha truly is not ratchet. "Sasha's Ratchet!" No, I'm telling you, she's not! "Sasha's Ratchet!" Oh, just forget it...
- Technical - The weaker aspect of her wrestling game, but really, she's just needs...
- More Time - At only 22, her skills will round out nicely as she gains some more experience.
- Promos - The idea that she should write more of her promos came up. This is something Stone Cold has brought up in the past, as well. More wrestlers should be given a chance to speak with their own voice.

"That I’ll get tasered for giving her such a low score (3), but hear me out: she’s only 22. She’s a good-but-not-great worker. She has not been doing this very long. Does she seem like a natural, that she takes to this business like a duck takes to water? Yes, absolutely so. But you can tell that she’s still ironing out the kinks in her game, and she isn’t a world-beater yet. I tend to be a bit harsher towards the NXT talent explicitly because they’re NXT: they’re developmental. They’re supposed to be polishing up their game. That means that we can avoid artificially-inflated scores."
On to the poll! With 276 votes, Sasha's average score is 4.1
Thanks, Cagesiders! Tomorrow's pick will have you seeing hot pink.
Until then!
