WWE Legend Backs Sasha Banks Over Backstage Heat Comments on Ronda Rousey

Published 11/16/2021, 12:30 PM EST

Sasha Banks passed a pay-related comment, and she dragged former Superstar Ronda Rousey in it. As per The Boss, she expressed her frustration towards WWE Rousey more than her in WWE.

Now, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T responded to Banks’ comment about this. Surprisingly, he agrees with The Boss, and is positive he would have done the same had he been in her position.

“”If I was Sasha Banks, I’m not mad at her comments or anything like that because I’d probably be pissed too. I probably would’ve been. You know, you got to put yourself in that position; Ronda Rousey got treated very well when she came in. But, the one thing Ronda did also is she delivered. She had a lot of people watching, she brought a lot of different eyes to the game.”

While Booker T appreciated the audience Rousey brought to the sport, he still believes The Boss is correct.

“But, I can understand the frustration as well as, me personally, that’s how I want Sasha to be. I don’t want Sasha to be thinking about kids and babies and shaking hands when it comes to Ronda Rousey.”H/t Sportskeeda

Maybe she is correct, maybe she isn’t. But, when someone like Booker T backs up a pro-wrestler’s comments, it must have some weight.

Sasha Banks is leading Team SmackDown at Survivor Series 2021

Staying true to her name, The Boss, Banks is leading Team SmackDown into the traditional 5-on-5 women’s match.

So far, the team consists of Sasha Banks, Shayna Baszler, Natalya, and Shotzi. The fifth member was Aliyah, but Sonya Deville removed her from the team.

It so happened that when Deville announced the team, Naomi interfered. This resulted in a six-man tag team match between Banks, Aliyah, and Naomi vs Baszler, Shotzi, and Natalya.

Aliyah pinned Natalya for the win. Since this meant that essentially Naomi’s team won, Sonya Deville executed her revenge by kicking Aliyah off the team.
