In a new interview with Sky Sports, former Raw champion and current tag champion Sasha Banks reveals how persistent she and Bayley were in convincing Vince McMahon to bring tag titles into the women’s division. Banks admits that they were borderline “annoying,” but it was that dedication that finally helped the dream become a reality.
“It felt like the whole of last year we were asking, like we would be knocking on the door of Vince’s office every week. Me and Bayley would go up to him and some weeks he’d say no and some weeks he’d say yes and then, bam, it’s here. So that just proves that you should never give up on your dreams. If you’re annoying enough you can make things happen and that’s probably what happened, he just got annoyed with us. I hope he understands how important this is to us and we’re going to make it really special. That’s just Vince every week – you never know how he’s going to be. You just have to keep on trying.”
When Banks was asked who she thought would have been suitable first-time champions (besides her and Bayley) the Boss said the IIconics, who also shared the dream of being tag champions.
“For me I would’ve said The IIconics, although they’re still quite brand new. They’re amazing though, they’re really incredible. And they’ve had the dream to be WWE tag-team champions since they were kids too. They seem like a real team too and if it wasn’t us then I’d like to have seen them have it. Hopefully we can have some good matches with them.”
