3 reasons why Sasha Banks should be WWE's biggest star in 2020

The new year promises new beginnings for everyone and, in my view, there’s every chance that Sasha Banks is eying up a massive 2020.

To say Banks has already achieved so much for someone still so relatively young would be a chronic understatement.

She’s a former four-time RAW Women’s Champion, a previous holder of the NXT Women’s Championship and, of course, one half of the very first WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Bayley.

It is surely a sign of her star power and charisma that many fans feel the 27-year-old is being overlooked in the present-day WWE product. While still featuring prominently on Friday Night SmackDown each week, many feel The Boss deserves even bigger billing.

There’s plenty to suggest those supporters may be right. In this article, I’m analyzing 3 key reasons why Sasha Banks can be WWE’s biggest star in 2020.

#3 Incredible experience

The Legit Boss

Few names in WWE whether in the men or women’s division can boast the kind of experience that Sasha Banks has under her belt.

In less than five years on what many refer to as the 'main roster', Banks has racked up headline matches, main events, and championship reigns aplenty.

WWE often needs go-to talent for main event programs, and people they can count on. So who better to go to with regards finding a face to steer the company through 2020 than a Superstar who in many ways has done it all?

As we’ve noted, she is a decorated former champion but has a unique experience that very few can offer, having participated in the likes of the first women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, the maiden women’s Royal Rumble bout, and the first Hell in a Cell bout to involve women. If you need a Superstar who's been there and done it, Sasha's your woman.

#2 Style and charisma

Sasha Banks performs a high-risk maneuver

Let’s make no bones about it, as it’s all about assessing what happens between the ropes when it comes to evaluating the contribution someone has made to the business. But even with that said, there’s the undeniable truth that the 'X factor' can also play a big part in taking someone’s career forward.

Take The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin for instance. Neither gentleman was a particularly gifted technician when it came to the bell-to-bell action, but they will arguably go down as two of the greatest of all time, largely thanks to what they said and how they said it.

Sasha Banks could work herself into the same elite group if the year 2020 works in her favor and offers her ample opportunity to walk the walk and talk the talk (literally).

Run through the women’s roster on RAW or SmackDown - can you honestly name someone who talks better than Sasha, or possesses the kind of sass and attitude that she brings out week after week? There really are very few, if any.

So while Banks can no-doubt cut it inside the squared circle, she also dominates the field when it comes to everything it takes to stand tall atop of WWE.

#1 Unwavering support

Sasha Banks

In terms of popularity, few names or figures within the sporting entertainment sphere divide opinion, yet draw more support than Sasha Banks.

The self-styled Boss boasts an impressive social media following. Take some of the key platforms for instance - across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Banks boasts some 8.5 million followers alone, with fans all over the globe desperate to keep an eye on everything she does and says.

But one quick Twitter search also reveals an even greater depth to that support – she’s one of the most discussed WWE performers on the platform, with fans discussing the good, bad, and indifferent about anything and everything this incredibly charismatic and, at times controversial star does.

Whether it’s a demand for her to instantly be crowned SmackDown Women’s Champion or clamor for her to be booked as the Royal Rumble winner and go on to main event WrestleMania, Banks’ insatiable support-base is unrelenting as one of the most passionate and vocal groups in sports entertainment.
