At Survivor Series [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-survivor-series/] 2020, SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sasha-banks] takes on Raw Women’s Champion Asuka. The heavily awaited Champion vs Champion match is set to be another barnburner in their 2020 series. In an interview with Variety [https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/sasha-banks-mandalorian-survivor-series-wwe-1234833862/], Banks discussed her upcoming clash with the Empress of Tomorrow. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ASuka-and-Sasha-Banks-1.jpg] SASHA BANKS TAKES ON ASUKA AT SURVIVOR SERIES Banks’ opinion on Asuka is quite ironic considering the heated rivalry they had this year. She said, “Asuka is, if not one of the best, the best competitor in our division. And she is a legend in Japan. She is one of the longest-reigning champions in our company.” “We have thrown it down in the past, but I feel like every single day, we want to get better in every single way. We want to do the best. And now that we represent our own brands, and being the champions, we’re really just going to go there Sunday and prove who is the best of the best.” Banks and Asuka put on classics on Raw and SummerSlam [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/summerslam-2020/]. These are matches that will go down as some of the best of 2020. Fans will hope their Survivor Series clash adds another classic to their rivalry. Sasha Banks’ confidence is commendable, considering she is going up against one of the best in the world. ‘The Boss’ said, “SmackDown is Team Blue. That’s why my hair is blue. It’s why I’m the Blueprint. That’s why I’m really the greatest. I have to show her that I’m the best at everything. She is great. But I’m greater.” BANKS WILL REPRESENT SMACKDOWN AT SURVIVOR SERIES Banks’ will represent SmackDown with all her heart and soul. The Boss has been running the women’s division in 2020, competing on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. She’s won the Raw, SmackDown, and Tag Team Championships this year. These probably make her the MVP of 2020. Asuka herself has not had a poor 2020. She held the Tag Team Championships and the Raw Women’s Championship. Asuka even won the Money in the Bank briefcase, which automatically led to her being awarded the Women’s Championship. The Japanese sensation even recorded wins against Bayley, Charlotte, and of course Sasha Banks herself. “I plan on just killing the show. Stealing the show like I always do, and just leaving you guys breathless. Like forever. They’re always like, ‘Man, Sasha Banks, she did it again. She did it again.” It won’t be surprising to see Sasha and Asuka steal the show once again at Survivor Series. How excited are you to see this blockbuster fight?

<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.

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 Banks’ 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 Banks’ 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. </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks’ 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.

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 Banks’ partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
