Former six times WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks who is also a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion recently shared her experience working at WrestleMania 35. She said that she felt nothing working at the event and that very moment she knew she needed a break.
Before WrestleMania 35, new championship was introduced to the WWE Universe and that was the much awaited WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, something that fans were looking forward to see for a very long time. Fans however are still looking for a mid card championship for women as well but that is a different story.
Sasha Banks Shares Her WrestleMania 35 Experience
The women’s Tag Team Championship of WWE was introduced just two main roster events before WrestleMania 35 and that was the Elimination Chamber pay per view event. Six women’s Tag Team wrestled inside the Elimination Chamber to win the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
The Boss N’ Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) won the first ever WWE women’s Tag Team Championship in the elimination chamber match in the Elimination Chamber pay per view event.
At WrestleMania 35, the Boss N’ Hug Connection defended the Championship against three different women’s tag teams, Beth Pheonix & Natalya, Nia Jax & Tamina and the IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce). The IIconics won the match to win their first and only WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
It was a pretty average match and not from any angle it was a WrestleMania classic. And it was another defeat listed for Sasha’s WrestleMania career as we all know she does not have any victories at WrestleMania yet.
Sasha Banks who is also a former WWE women’s Tag Team Champion recently spoke to BT Sport’s Ariel Helwani where she shared her experience working at WrestleMania 35. She said that she felt nothing working at the event and that very moment she knew she needed a break. She said;
“Maybe, yeah 2019 I was at that WrestleMania when I was just like, ‘Woah, I’m not nervous. I don’t feel anything and this is Wrestle freaking Mania. I couldn’t believe it. The biggest fan, the girl that wanted this her entire life didn’t feel anything at the biggest show ever?
“I mean, this is every wrestler’s dream to be here, and at that very moment I knew that I needed to take a break and I was like, ‘Alright, I gotta go find myself.’ And I did and it’s the best decision that I ever made and I’m so thankful that I did.”
“It’s the energy that you feel. It’s the feeling, the numbness that you feel of going out there and not feeling the crowd the same way that you used to and not feeling that energy from them. If you go out there feeling numb and there’s no light in your eyes, if you can’t perform at your highest good, even though I did go out there and I put 110 percent, I was not loving it.
“There was no light behind my eyes and I wanted to find that again because this was my everything. This has been my life since I was 10 years old and I wasn’t gonna let it kill me. So, I was gonna find my light with it again. So, I took my break and it’s the best, best, best decision I ever made. It’s the best I’ve ever been.”
