WWE’s Superstar female wrestler, Sasha Banks offered her support to a friend prior to the latest AEW Dynamite. She merely tweeted out the new name of former WWE superstar, Kalisto, who was about to make his debut in AEW. This serves as one of those wholesome moments where feuding promotions are still not able to stop two friends from supporting one another. The raging war between WWE and AEW has seen many top-rated stars jumping ship as both promotions continue to trade blows. WWE’s domination of over 2 decades has made them a total juggernaut. However, with the rise of new names, the landscape is slowly going through a change.

The duo challenged the reigning AAA tag team champions FTR. The current AAA Champions pinned former champions, Luchabros to claim the titles.

<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History</h2>
It’s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW’s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn’t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion’s arrival was announced. Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company’s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, “Hangman” Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ‘AEW Double or Nothing,’ had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn’t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It’s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other “violent” acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2020/07/AEW-Dynamite-Darby-Allin-Ricky-Starks-Skateboard.jpg" alt="Ricky Starks Shows Off Bloody Back After Landing On Thumbtacks - Wrestlezone" data-noaft="1" />

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women’s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, “Hangman” Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women’s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://em.wattpad.com/a966bc4df39068d42f7c1a85a2068355f8de60f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f47487274426d344d674a664861513d3d2d3137312e313630623932336531366633623462373636303233313938323135362e6a7067" alt="AEW Smash or Pass - Anna Jay - Wattpad" data-noaft="1" />

AEW also announced the signing of former WWE Superstars Miro (Rusev), Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder), and Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), adding them to the already great roster.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Husband and More</b></h2>
Mercedes Kestner-Varnado, better known as Sasha Banks, is a female professional wrestler currently working as a free agent. There have been strong rumors of the professional wrestler signing a contract soon either with WWE or AEW. She established herself as one of the top stars of the division during her time in WWE owing to her spectacular performance in the SmackDown brand.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks' early life</b></h2>
Sasha Banks was born on January 26, 1992, in Fairfield, California to Reo Varnado and Judith Varnardo. Sasha takes up African-American ethnicity from her dad while her mother hailed from Germany. The professional wrestler and her brother Joshua Kaestner Varando were mostly raised by her mother as their father abandoned them during childhood. Moreover, Banks had a rather tough time growing up as she constantly moved places because of her autistic sibling. She mostly completed her education via an online medium.

[caption id="attachment_2058874" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]<img class="wp-image-2058874 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sasha-banks-imago.jpg" alt="Sasha Banks" width="1600" height="1066" /> Image Credits: Imago[/caption]

Meanwhile, one surprising thing about the superstar is that she has good connections in the music industry as Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Brandy Norwood, and Ray. J are her cousins from her father's side.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ husband and children</b></h2>
Sasha Banks found love and her life partner in the former wrestler Sarath Ton, who was famous by his ring name Mikaze. The two met each other in 2010, as they were a part of the autonomous wrestling circuit and connected over their love for wrestling gear. As of now, Ton works as a costume designer in WWE and the couple does not have any kids.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ net worth 2024</b></h2>
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Banks has a net worth of $4 million. Her WWE contract offered her a salary of $250,000 per year. Ever since the success of the main event of the WrestleMania 37 match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, the company gave Banks several chances to shine on the main roster and hence WWE increased her salary from $180,000 to $250,000. As of now, the star is earning $100,000 for every appearance as a free agent.

The brands also make sure to benefit from Sasha's social media following and thus she gets paid a handsome amount of $13,543 for every sponsorship post. Apart from endorsing brands like First We Feast and Kanndela, Banks also earns well through other sources of income like modeling and acting. She made he debut in Tinseltown with the series <em>The Mandalorian.Â </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ career timeline</b></h2>
Sasha started her training as a professional wrestler back in 2008. She performed for Chaotic Wrestling and debuted in an inter-gender tag team match. The ride was long and hard for her as she continued to lose all her initial matches, with a WWE run seeming very far. However, she exceeded all expectations. Her immaculate in-ring skills, along with her infectious energy and fire-spitting promise, quickly made her a valuable commodity. She even won the Chaotic Wrestling Women's Championship.

In 2011, NXT, the developmental brand of WWE, was looking to rebuild itself from scratch with some tough wrestlers and signed Sasha Banks. Her first-ever WWE match was against fan-favorite Paige. Even though she lost, she captured the attention of the fans. Her NXT run coincided with a never-before-seen elevation of women's wrestling in WWE. Many credit her along with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charlotte-flair">Charlotte Flair</a>, Bayley, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/becky-lynch">Becky Lynch</a> for ushering in the women's revolution.

Sasha had a storied rivalry with Charlotte Flair going from best friends to worst enemies. She defeated Flair to become the NXT Women's Champion, immediately making clear that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a> had big plans for her career. Her "The Boss" persona resonated with the fans and represented the modern female professional wrestler.

[caption id="attachment_2092390" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2092390 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sasha-Banks-Neutral-Triple-H-sad.jpg" alt="Sasha Banks Neutral Triple H sad" width="1920" height="1280" /> Image Credits: Imago[/caption]

When Sasha finally left NXT, she did it in the best fashion possible. She lost to Bayley in a match that many call the best women's wrestling match in WWE history. After dropping the NXT Championship, she made her main roster debut on Raw as part of a stable with Tamina and Naomi.

She was part of the batch of wrestlers introduced by Stephanie McMahon, who revolutionized main-roster wrestling. Sasha would continue her fine run on the main roster again, feuding with Charlotte where the two even faced off in the first-ever women's Hell in a Cell match. She also had notable rivalries with Bayley and Becky Lynch on the main roster.

Sasha Banks entered a profitable partnership with Bayley in 2020, turning heel shockingly. She then won every belt in the WWE Women's division with Bayley, and the duo called themselves the 'Golden Role Models'. After a dramatic deterioration, Bayley turned on Banks, igniting a heated rivalry between the two. Sasha Banks came out on top after a thrilling match at Hell in a Cell, capturing the SmackDown Women's Championship from Bayley.

At present, she is working as a free agent and is expected to join either WWE or AEW.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Sasha Banks enjoys a good social media following and thus it should come as no surprise that she earns a good amount of money by influencing people. The wrestler charges $13,543 per sponsorship post and a handful of brands that she endorses include the likes of First We Feast and Kanndela. She is also the face of WWE video games and merchandise.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ wrestling career stats</b></h2>
The one-time NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks has featured in a total of 966 wrestling games in her career so far, scoring a win in 552 matches and losing 393 games. 21 games ended in a draw while she also recorded a winning and losing percentage of 57.1% and 40.7% respectively.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ major achievementsÂ </b></h2>
Sasha Banks established herself as a true representative of the new era of women's wrestling in WWE as she formed a part of the first-ever female wrestling match in Saudi Arabia against Alexa Bliss. She has several achievements to her name including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">5 WWE/WWE Raw Women's Championship</li>
