Sasha Banks is the undisputed SmackDown Women’s Champion. After her win against Bayley on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, she is the imperial ruler.
Celebrating her victory over her best friend turned worst enemy, “The Boss” posted a picture on Instagram with a very questionable caption. Banks implied that she is now better than NBA legend Michael Jordan.

As you can see in the post above, Banks is clearly on that victory high. Sure, she is a great athlete and one of the best in WWE’s Women’s division. She can also arguably be called one of the best female professional wrestlers in the world.
Although can you really compare her to the heights, literally and metaphorically, of Michael Jordan?
Over the past few months and all through her storyline with Bayley, Banks has been taken shots at all-time greats. This has become part of her gimmick.
During the “Golden Role Models” time, she mocked WWE legend The Undertaker by sticking her tongue out as he did. Now it seems as if she is taking the notoriety to other sports.

Sasha Banks and Bayley have hiked up viewership for SmackDown
Sasha Banks isn’t a babyface. Right now, she isn’t a heel either, but an anti-hero. Her current feud against Bayley has elevated both stars to another platform entirely.
The two have been the lifeblood of SmackDown and have managed to be the main event of the blue brand for months. The feud has been nothing but profit for WWE.
She is good, she may be the best, but she is no Michael Jordan yet. Only our parents and grandparents know just how good Jordan was in his prime.

Despite this far-fetched claim, Sasha Banks does have bragging rights. She managed to make Bayley tap out twice in two consecutive shows. This dominance over the former champion is astounding and sheds a very strong light on her. Only time will tell if she remains as consistent as the man she claims to be better than. The bank statement is yet to come out.
