Sasha Banks appeared on Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin and gave her opinion on WWE signing Ronda Rousey.
Austin asked ‘The Boss’ how she felt about Rousey’s contribution towards Women’s Wrestling.
According to Banks, WWE should pay her the hefty amount Rousey pockets from her WWE contract. The company has considerable talent in the Women’s division, and all of them are putting in the work, especially her.

In a previous interview, Banks had revealed that she was impressed with Ronda Rousey’s performance inside the ring.
“I’m in awe. I loved her match at WrestleMania, I loved her match at Money in the Bank, and I definitely think she’s one to watch. I can’t believe Money in the Bank was only her second match, I am so impressed, and I hope that I get to wrestle her in the future; I’m so excited for her career in WWE, and man, she really has been killing it.” H/t CBS Sports

“Everyone presumes that Ronda Rousey’s contract expires at a certain time. I don’t understand why people don’t realize that perhaps, just perhaps, Ronda Rousey’s contract has been extended or she has worked out a new deal and it would not benefit either WWE or Ronda Rousey to go public with that information.”
