Banks’ favourite trainer is Norman Smiley (L)

Sasha signed for WWE in 2012 soon after a successful tryout and hasn’t looked backed since. During her time at the Performance Center she’s been under the wings of some of the most talented names in the pro wrestling industry including the late Dusty Rhodes, Joey Mercury and Sara Amato who has covertly helped usher in the era of women’s wrestling in the WWE.

However, Sasha’s favourite trainer at the Performance Center was former WCW Cruiserweight Champion Norman Smiley. Although Smiley was never a big name during his wrestling career, he has taken to coaching by storm and is one of the most popular trainers at the WWE Performance Center.
