Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair made history at WrestleMania 37 by competing at the first singles main event match from the female roster at the biggest stage. The story-telling, match execution was so good that it was able to earn praise from both the fans and critics. So the demand for a rematch was obviously there and that will be met at the upcoming pay-per-view event of WWE.
The challenger for the SmackDown Women’s Championship in this upcoming match, Sasha Banks joined Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker to promote it. The rematch against Bianca Belair from WrestleMania 37 Night One is highly anticipated and hence the expectation is seemingly high from the WWE Universe.
So, Sasha Banks believes that this upcoming SummerSlam bout is actually bigger than the previous one. Plus, the pay-per-view itself is bigger in scale in comparison to this year’s WrestleMania.
“I actually think that this SummerSlam might be bigger than WrestleMania,” Sasha Banks said. “It feels like it’s going to be bigger than WrestleMania. I’m counting down the days and it’s really creeping up on me. But I am so ecstatic to be back with fans. There’s nothing like their energy. So I think this crowd is going to be bigger attendance than WrestleMania, which already makes me, it’s lights a fire in my heart. But yeah, I’m really looking forward to SummerSlam on August 21. And I cannot wait to be Smackdown Women’s Champion again.”

During the conversation, Sasha Banks was also asked if her match with Bayley from NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn remains her favorite match of her career. In reply, she stated that it was definitely in her top five, along with another match her and Bayley that took place, last year inside Hell In A Cell structure.
“It’s so cool. It’s definitely one of my top five. But in terms of recent memory, I think Hell In A Cell with Bayley was definitely one of my favorite matches. Just because what a brutal match (it was). I was so nervous going in just because the year before, that match destroyed me. And just like, me and Bayley’s chemistry is like no other. She is someone that I trust so much in that ring that we don’t even need to talk. Definitely don’t need to talk in something so dangerous like that type of match. I know that she has me no matter what, whatever type of match we have together.” (Quotes courtesy Wrestling Inc)
Sasha Banks also revealed her philosophy of giving her best in the ring no matter who she’s in the ring with as the goal remains the same and that’s to produce the best match of the night with any given opponent.
