Here are some interview highlights from WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks talking to ProSieben MAXX on Instagram. Thanks to WrestlingInc for the transcript.

Banks commented on what was on her mind when she made her debut on the WWE main roster in 2015.

“That’s hard to remember. But probably being the person that I was back then, I was probably telling myself, ‘I’m not afraid,’ and probably freaking out. Because ever since I was 10 years old, walking down that ramp was my only dream. Now, here I was in 2015, making my WWE debut. It was so incredible. Now every single week, I’m doing the exact same thing. It’s just so awesome.”

Banks also brought up an idea for a women’s tournament while also mentioning that she wanted to see Evolution 2 as a follow up to the first women’s only Evolution pay-per-view in October 2018.

“I think a whole Queen of the Ring tournament for a whole pay-per-view itself would be really cool, but I’ve been waiting for Evolution 2 for a very long time. So maybe we can do that first, and maybe we can start little matches at Evolution for the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Maybe something like that can happen.”

Banks spoke about who she would like to have a dream match with a bit of a joke at the end.

“There’s so many new women, so I feel like there are all these matches I can have, but even with a dream match would be Trish Stratus. I feel we can make happen one day if she wants to, but we have to get paid a lot of money for that one.”

Banks is 28 years old with an incredible resume in WWE so far while also having many years left of active competition. Where does she see herself in ten years? She has big goals.

“Honestly, I would have no idea. But if I have to choose, I will have a lot of stock in the WWE or own the WWE. I would own the WWE, yes. I would give Vince the vacation he deserves.”
