WWE star Sasha Banks wants to work WrestleMania 36 pre-show to ‘get it over with’ as she’ll still make the same money
SASHA BANKS says she would rather work the WrestleMania 36 pre-show instead of the main card so she “can get out of there”.
And The Boss added she would still “be making the same amount of money“ and “that’s what it’s all about”.
Banks is one of the best talents on the WWE roster but is currently sidelined with an ankle injury.
The 28-year-old, real name Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado, was a hugely-popular star before turning heel alongside her best mate and SmackDown Women’s champ Bayley.
The pair lost the Women’s Tag-Team Titles at last year’s ‘Mania, leading to reports Banks had a temper tantrum backstage following the loss.
She quickly squashed those rumours upon her return – but it seems her new-found attitude is more interested in making moolah than main eventing now.
Banks was a guest on Corey Graves’ After the Bell podcast this week, and when quizzed on her hopes for the Showcase of the Immortals, she insisted she would rather get the job done and dusted as early as possible - even if that meant missing out on the main card.
She said: “My sights are to wear the most bomb outfit right next to my best friend’s side as she defends her title against some loser.
”You know WrestleMania is so long. If anything, I would hope that we were on the pre-show just so I can get it done and over with.
“I’ll probably still be making the same amount of money...That’s what it’s all about.”

Banks added: “I want to make the most money, I want to be on the pre-show so I can get out of there.
“It’s a long long day, we’re probably there from 8 AM till 2 AM in the morning. So I just got to go. I got to get my beauty sleep.”
Banks was obviously speaking in character, but rumours are also suggesting she could be set to battle her pal Bayley for the belt at ‘Mania.
