Sasha Banks is all about creating characters.
Mercedes Varnado is no stranger to playing various characters, creating and perfecting the Sasha Banks "Boss" character on WWE television. Outside of wrestling, Banks has played Koska Reeves on 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian.'
Speaking on Ahch-To Radio, Banks talked about creating different characters and perfecting them.
"You always want to create characters to portray and live by. You're [host] a character right now. I'm sure once you get off your headsets, you're someone completely different. We're always portraying different characters in every different moment of our time. For me, it's really just owning my own IP [Intellectual Property] and owning the character behind the character and really defining, who is the character that is playing the character. It's really just finding yourself. When it comes to even wrestling, that's a character that I come up with and I portray myself and you have your writers coming in and giving a little more details of what they see for it. It's really when it comes to characters in your life, it's what you see for that character because only you know how you're going to play it and only you know how you see the vision of that character," she said.
Wrestling fans haven't seen Banks on WWE television since the May 13 episode of WWE SmackDown. Days later on WWE Raw, Banks was scheduled to compete in WWE Raw Women's Title number one contender's bout, but walked out after a meeting with Vince McMahon. She and Naomi, who walked out with Banks, were suspended indefinitely for their actions. WWE owns the "Sasha Banks" trademark.
Banks has kept busy away from wrestling, walking in New York Fashion Week and appearing at the 'She-Hulk' premiere.
