SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks has had the same finishing move for her entire WWE career. The Banks Statement has provided her with many of her greatest victories. Now, she has revealed the origins of the move.
Speaking on the Sailor Moon Fan Club Banks went over the process of creating her finisher. Here is the full quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“When I was trying to find my character and had to be a bad guy, I wanted a whole new finisher because I was just doing a neckbreaker. It’s cute, but it’s basic because everyone does a neckbreaker and I’m not trying to be basic in WWE. I really loved the backstabber and how it looked. I was really small and I needed a finisher I could do to everybody. One day, I went to training and asked the head trainer to help me. He said, ‘I like the backstabber, but how about you flip it into a crossface.’ I was like, ‘Ohhhhh, money, money, money, like a bank statement.’ That’s what I do, I leave a statement. I take that change, put it in the back, cha chang, and I make these girls tap out. I can get that sucker on anybody, really fast, and in any variation.”
Sasha Banks is currently scheduled to wrestle Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37.
