Sasha Banks has established herself to be the very best in professional wrestling, over the past few years. Many would arguably consider her to be the best female technical superstar of this generation. That fact was partially confirmed as she was voted to be the number one wrestler of the world for the year 2020.
The name of Sasha Banks is known throughout the pro wrestling world who has become an inspiration to many. Some also consider her to be The Boss, going by her WWE gimmick. Her music, stylish in-ring attire, and attitude present a complete package for the WWE superstar whenever she arrives on TV. There was a point when she admittedly about to forget her actual identity due to her in-ring gimmick.
While fans may never have a bad thing to say about The Legit Boss’ gimmick, her mother did not love that name, Sasha Banks, the first time she heard it. But she had to eventually accept the situation.
Just Women’s Sports podcast recently spoke to Sasha Banks as she revealed that WWE gave her a long list of possible names and she put Sasha with another last name on the list. After she had chosen out what her WWE ring name would be, her mother advised her to change it. But it had to stay.

The Sasha Banks name came in a random way
“The name came really just randomly. They asked me to put a long list of names, and I always remember putting Sasha with a different last name and Banks with a different first name,” the six-time Women’s Champion stated.
“And I remember just debuting at a house show for WWE and I needed a name. I was kind of just Mercedes KV. Finally Sara Del Rey came into the room and said ‘we got you a name.’ I go ‘oh what is it?’ She goes ‘it’s Sasha Banks.’ I’m like ‘oh! I love it. That sounds really really good!’
“I texted my mom. I said ‘hey mom, I got a WWE name. It’s Sasha Banks.’ She ended up calling me and goes ‘that’s a porn star name! Tell them to change it!’ I go ‘mom I can’t tell WWE to change the name.’ That’s how my mom is. She’s come around to the name. She’s like Mama Banks now.” (Quotes courtesy Wrestling Inc)

Whatever name Sasha Banks opted for herself, it went on to become a huge hit among the audience alongside her whole character. With true dedication toward her career, she picked up the Women’s Title on multiple occasions while solidifying her status at the very top of the female roster.
Nowadays, Sasha Banks’ mother doesn’t probably have any problems with her in-ring name, anymore. She would rather be very proud of what her daughter was able to accomplish in her whole WWE career. She is a record five-time Raw Women’s Champion who was also a part of the historic Women’s Championship main-event match at WrestleMania 37. More such records are probably waiting for her in the near future.
