In an interview [https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/sasha-banks-mandalorian-survivor-series-wwe-1234833862/], Sasha Banks claimed that she is the best and the greatest wrestler of all time. Recently, Banks defeated Bayley at Hell in a Cell 2020 to secure the WWE SmackDown [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-smackdown/] Women’s Championship title. According to her, this is the highest a Superstar can reach within WWE. “Being the SmackDown Women’s Champion, that means I am completely the best. I always say ‘I’m the best.’ I really know 100% that I am the greatest wrestler of all time, but I have so many new competitors.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/146_HIAC_10252020JG_28638-a7ed4c9b0db564a86c0f370ce4936135.jpg] Her notion that she will face new competitors along the way is not incorrect. Returning Superstar, Carmella, has already attacked Banks while ‘The Boss’ was in the middle of a segment. It is explicitly clear that eventually Sasha Banks and Carmella will encounter each other in the ring at a massive showdown. “I look forward to facing so many fresh faces, so many new matchups, and it really lets me go to sleep dreaming of excitement for every Friday night knowing what I’m going to have.” IS BAYLEY TRULY OUT OF THE PICTURE? Banks should not disregard the possibility of an old rival helping a new rival. In a recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Banks called out Carmella. However, it was Bayley who came out to the ramp which had her distracted for a moment. Carmella used that moment and mauled ‘The Boss’. Now, whether it was a planned move between Bayley and Carmella or the latter capitalizing on an opportunity is yet to be revealed. The popular opinion is that this is a classic case of – ‘my rival’s rival is my friend’. SASHA BANKS IS A POPULAR SUPERSTAR Sasha Banks has been gaining popularity from her first day. Her fans have put her on a pedestal and she doesn’t intend to come down from there. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/112_HIAC_10252020JG_28154-f823bdb918ffc18bde7ec01ee9fa6767.jpg] The reason she has gathered a huge fan following is because of her aura. Her character is eye-catching and delivers segments to perfection. She has outdone herself every time she stepped inside the ring, whether it was to deliver an opponent’s move or to have her own way. Currently, Sasha Banks is scheduled for a fight against WWE Raw [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-raw/] Women’s Champion, Asuka, at the upcoming Survivor Series [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-survivor-series/]. 

Sasha Banks made a huge claim about herself as the WWE SmackDown Women's
Champion prior to her match against Asuka at Survivor Series 2020.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks' early life</b></h2>

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.

WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 will take place on November 25, 2023. The 37th Annual PLE will be held at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. With the unique WarGames match type set to make its second appearance on the main roster, fans are hyped and excited. The PLE holds a massive significance in WWE with a number of top stars making their debut at the event and it is also home to some of the company's most memorable moments.

Here is everything you need to know about Survivor Series.
<h2>History of WWE Survivor Series</h2>
The creation of Survivor Series can be attributed to the success of WrestleMania III. Generating over $10 million in 1987 with around 78,000 in attendance was a massive milestone for the WWE. This led Vince McMahon to believe in the power of pay-per-view events.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-424620" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201027131113/1420e9a4-wwe-survivor-series-2020-matches-announced-on-monday-night-raw.png" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />

This led the WWE to host the first Survivor Series the same year as WrestleMania III. The event capitalized on the Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant feud. Showcased as a continuation of their match at WM III, this drew massive attention at the time, with 21,000 in attendance for a new PPV event.

Set to be a <em>'Thanksgiving tradition,'</em> the PPVs occurred on Thanksgiving Day or Thanksgiving Eve. Survivor Series is part of WWE's Big Four, consisting of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestlemania/">WrestleMania</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-summerslam/">SummerSlam</a>, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-royal-rumble/">Royal Rumble</a>. Today, it is the longest-running PPV behind WrestleMania.
<h2>Some of the biggest stars debuted at Survivor Series</h2>
Survivor Series has had a massive impact on WWE's history. This is because some of the biggest names in the WWE debuted at Survivor Series.

<strong>The Undertaker in 1990:</strong> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/">The Undertaker</a> debuted at Survivor Series as part of Ted Dibiase's team against a squad led by Dusty Rhodes. The Undertaker dominated the match before being counted out. The Deadman fittingly announced his retirement at the same PLE 30 years later.

<strong>Dwayne Johnson in 1996:</strong> On November 17, 1996, Dwayne The Rock Johnson debuted at Survivor Series 10. He was paired with Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, and The Stalker. His team took on Crush, Goldust, Jerry Lawler, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Johnson was the sole survivor of the match, claiming victory for his team.

<strong>Kurt Angle in 1999:</strong> The Olympic Gold Medalist, Angle faced Shawn Stasiak in a singles match. Angle won the match by pinfall after hitting  Stasiak with an Angle Slam.

<strong>The SHIELD in 2012: </strong><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/seth-rollins">Seth Rollins</a>, Dean Ambrose, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a> debuted at Survivor Series 2012. They did not have a match but instead interfered in the triple-threat match. The match was between John Cena, CM Punk, and Rayback. With the no-disqualification stipulation, the interference led to Punk winning.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-282013" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200601230637/shield-debut-survivor-series.jpg" alt="" width="855" height="450" />

<strong>Sting in 2014:</strong> Despite making a massive name for himself across many wrestling promotions, Sting never joined the WWE. This would all change at the main event of Survivor Series 2014. The WCW icon showed by to help Team Cena win against Team Authority.
<h2>Memorable matches at Survivor Series</h2>
Another reason for the massive impact Survivor Series has had on the WWE is due to some of the matches. While the 36 PPVs have had some of the most memorable matches, it also contained one of the most controversial ones. The 11th annual WWE Survivor Series in 1997 would go on to live in infamy thanks to the Montreal Screwjob. Vince McMahon would screw over Bret Hart in his hometown during a title match with Shawn Michaels. By changing the pre-determined finish of the match without telling Hart, this match would be among the most discussed matches in WWE history.

Survivor Series is also known for the memorable matches that have etched themselves into the WWE Universe's minds. Some of them are as follows.

<strong>Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels (1992):</strong> The prequel to the Montreal Screwjob. Bret Hart retained his title after making Michaels tap out to the Sharpshooter

<strong>The Undertaker vs. Mankind (1996):</strong> This was the debut of Taker's 'Deadman' gimmick facing off against Mankind. Taker won the match after a brutal piledriver on a steel chair.

<strong>The Rock &amp; John Cena vs. The Miz &amp; R-Truth (2011):</strong> This match would lead up to The Rock vs <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">Cena</a> at WrestleMania 28. The twist ending with The Rock hitting Cena with the Rock Bottom was a massive crowd popper.

<strong>Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg (2016):</strong> A retelling of their disaster of a match that took place at WrestleMania 20 lasted 90 seconds. No one in the audience could've expected this squash match to be that memorable. Another masterpiece of visual storytelling by the WWE.

<strong>Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan (2018):</strong> This match was elevated as Bryan had recently come out of retirement for that year's WrestleMania.
