Sasha Banks Comments On Not Knowing WWE Creative Plans In Advance

Sasha Banks was recently a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. Sasha spoke on a wide variety of topics about her career so far in WWE. One of the topics of interest was when she discussed the biggest difference between NXT and the WWE main roster.

Sasha says that one of the biggest differences has to do with the creative plans. In NXT she knew what she was doing months in advance and could work towards making it better. On the main roster, things are last-minute and she doesn’t always know where she is going. Here is what she said:

“I think that’s what’s different about NXT too. We kind of always knew where we were going, so it helped me prepare and think of ahead of time, like, ‘how can I make this better?’. But when I go to RAW, it’s legit, like, ‘I have no clue what I’m doing.’ I don’t even know what to prepare for. I’m just, like, handed something or told something. And I was like, ‘okay, I have one hour to get ready. Oh, okay. Alright. Let’s just do it!’ So, honestly, I wish we had the opportunity to know what we’re doing in the next three months. If we’re going with a storyline, I would like to know, ‘yeah, we’re going with you and Alexa [Bliss] and this is where we want to take it and where we want to go’ instead of just being, ‘oh, maybe you’ll have a tag match. Maybe you’ll have a promo. Maybe you’ll have this random match that doesn’t make any sense or whatever. Who knows? Or maybe you’ll just sit in catering. Who knows?'”

She also said that sometimes WWE stars are confused with storylines or frustrated when they fall through:

“I think that’s with all of our [WWE] Superstars. None of them know what’s going on. When you see Monday Night RAW, we’re all surprised. Sometimes we’re even confused [about] where we’re going. And sometimes, maybe they don’t even follow through with a storyline, which kind of sucks sometimes.”

Sasha also gave her thoughts on airport stalkers, which you can check out here.
