Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks has been officially confirmed for the Royal Rumble PPV. This will be for Ronda’s RAW Women’s Championship.
In a video on her Youtube Channel, Ronda went into detail about why she is excited to wrestle Sasha.
Here is what she said (h/t to Cageside Seats for the quotes below)
“Everyone always asks me what my dream match is and I always say Sasha Banks because, I mean, I think, in my opinion, and opinion is subjective, I think a lot of women have had their best match with Sasha. I think that more people in the women’s division have had their best match with Sasha than anyone else, in my opinion. So I’ve always been really excited about the potential for what she could bring out of me. And up until this point I really didn’t think I was really at the level where I could fully take advantage of the opportunity to have a match with her.
I’m super excited! I’m really super excited. Like, when I first found out I marked out super hard. I was tripping like ‘don’t be a mark on Sasha.’ I’m totally like a mark around her sometimes but I feel like she thinks I’m just being creepy nice to her.
One reason why I’m really excited to have a match with Sasha is just there are so many things that only me and her would be able to do. Very, very small and very, very durable is not a very common combination. Just like there are certain things with Nia that I can only do with Nia because she’s so much bigger and stronger than me, there are so many things with Sasha that I’ll only be able to do with her because of how athletic and knowledgeable of wrestling she is. I’m really excited just because I feel like I’m going to learn so much and be so much better in the ring for having absorbed everything that I can from her.”
