Ronda Rousey just got The Boss’ seal of approval. Add Sasha Banks to the growing list of WWE wrestlers who have slowly but surely became fans of former UFC champion turned pro wrestling rookie Ronda Rousey.
Speaking with with the CBS Sports “In This Corner” podcast, Banks was asked about the WWE’s newest addition to the Raw women’s locker room. After some initial doubt, it looks like Banks is happy Rousey is now part of Team WWE.
“When I first heard she was going to be here I was a bit like, ‘That’s not really fair. But she has proven that she belongs and I’m really excited for her to be here with us. Man, I’m a big fan of her.”
Banks continued
“To me, when I watch that match at Money in the Bank, I believed every single thing that she took. I believed that she was in pain and probably she really was. She was entertaining. For me, I feel like she gets it, and I think it’s because she was a fan growing up. She knows what our audience wants to see, and she makes me feel everything that she’s going through. I think that’s one of the hardest things about being a WWE superstar, which is making people feel whether she’s hurt or not.”
How great would a future Banks versus Rousey feud over the WWE women’s title be?
Sasha Banks approved. Both of Rousey’s matches so far have been universally praised. Has the Ronda Rousey to WWE experiment gone nearly perfect so far?
