Banks’ former best friend and Tag Team partner Bayley made it at #6 on the list. In chronological order, the 1-10 in the list were Sasha Banks, Jon Moxley, Drew McIntyre, Tetsuya Naito, Kenny Omega, Bayley, Io Shirai, Kota Ibushi, Roman Reigns, and Eddie Kingston.

There’s no doubt Sasha Banks and all the SI Top 10 wrestlers of 2020 have achieved every bit of recognition and accomplishments that come their way.

What did Sasha do in 2020?

First, she and Bayley carried the entire women’s division on their backs in the pandemic era of WWE Programming. Both women regularly worked double duty on Raw and SmackDown, and a few times triple duty with NXT too!

2020 was quite the year for ‘The Blueprint.’ Her and Bayley’s alliance from the beginning of the year was great entertainment on TV. She thrived on the momentum and won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and defended it across all three brands. She also held the WWE Raw Women’s Championship briefly.

Once The Golden Role Models (Banks & Bayley) lost the Tag Team Championships, everyone knew a Bayley vs Sasha feud was on the cards and that’s what happened. Banks won the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Bayley at Hell In A Cell and is still holding the title heading into the Royal Rumble.

2020 definitely turned out great for Sasha Banks; will 2021 be any different? We must wait and watch!
