Sasha Banks spoke on the latest episode of The Kurt Angle Show about main eventing the first night of WrestleMania 37 against Bianca Belair.
She dropped the SmackDown Women’s Title to Belair at this show. She found out the day before about being the headliner.
“I didn’t know that we were going to main event WrestleMania but I was praying and dreaming about it,” Banks said. “I felt like I was competing with Drew [McIntyre] and Bobby [Lashley] and that whole week. I was like ‘do I talk to Vince? Do I not?’ I was like yanno what, if he thinks I’m frickin good and can main event then let it happen. Next thing you know, I get to frickin WrestleMania and I find out I’m main eventing. How frickin cool is that? The day before, I’m like wow.
“Everything can come into fruition if you just don’t give up on your dream. I went out there and I was on a whole different level and zone, I’ve never been in the ring like that. This was our first time back in front of fans for a year and a half that I just couldn’t believe even happened.
“To wrestle without fans is one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced but I’m so thankful to know that I can do it and I can do anything. To be rewarded with WrestleMania 37 against Bianca Belair, who her talent just speaks for itself. She came in so fast, so quick and got it. She is incredible and I just loved to see her growth. For her to come in so quick and fast and get like this, I can’t wait to see in the next five years how good she’s going to be.”
