Last night following her count-out victory over Women's Champion Alexa Bliss at Great Balls of Fire, Sasha Banks was a gueđĄst on RAW Talk, hosted by Renee Young and Peter Rosenberg.
Nowđ, the scuttlebutt backstage has always been that Banks and Bliss just plain don'đt like each other, even going back as far as their time in NXT. Dana Brooke spoke about the enmity between the two on the Great Balls of Fire Kickoff Show.
On RAW Talk, Banks spokeđ aboutê§ how their rivalry originated:
"You know, she đcame in so cute, so humbled. She came in so fake, with her fake little stories, her fake little, 'I loved wrestling growing up, I love Matt Hardy.' You know what? You canât even tell the difference between Jeff and Matt. You idiot.
Yeah, we call you on all your lies, sweetheart. Youâre just here to be another girl. Another heel. You just want to be here for a Hollywood act. Youâre on Total Divas now, youâre đ getting what you want and you can talk your way into everything, but you kđ±now what? You canât run away from me.
You can talk this, but you canât walk the walk - cause youâll never be me. Iâm a three-time Womenâs Champion fâor a reasođn, and I will be a four-time Womenâs Champion very soon. I won that match tonight, and I demand my rematch."
Banks continued:
"You know, when you work so hard at trying to livà± e your dreams đŠčsince you were 10 years old and you see girls just come in and get everything handed to them because they want to play a certain way or act a certain way and just legit talk your way into a championship match, but (they) want to run away when it gets hard.
Iâve never ruđȘn away. Iâve always worked my butt off to get here. And Iâve worked my butt off to stay here. And Iâm going to keep on doing that until I need to prove to her and everyone out there that ever doubted me - Iâm the best for the reason. Iâm TđHE best. Iâm the greatest womenâs wrestler this companyâs ever seen. And if she doesnât believe me, she better just watch me."
Renee Young made the mistake of tryđ«iâng to give Alexa credit for working her way up the ladder of the Women's Division, and Sasha put a quick stop to that:
"What work, Renee? Look, you donât have to come from the Indies to be here, but you do have to respeđ€Șct it. You donât need to lie your way saying 'Oh my god, I love this company.' Girl, you donât need to lie, just be yourself. And if she was herself, maybe I would like her. There are girls who donât like this business, but they learn to respect it. And she doesnât show any respect. And thatâs what Iâm gonna teach her - respect."
Roseđ¶nberg mđade one final attempt at dragging a compliment out of Sasha, but that went literally nowhere.
And inđ case you were wonderiđng what Alexa's response was to all of this:
Yeah, it doesn't look ê§like this feud is cooling off anytime soon.
