First 5 WWE NXT Women's Champions: Where are they now?

#3 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks has been an avid wrestling and WWE fan since her childhood days. She made no secret that while growing up, WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero was her idol.

She has often paid homage to the Latino Heat by emulating his Frog Splash in matches and sporting his motifs on her attire.

Banks became the third NXT Women's Champion by defeating Charlotte Flair in an epic fatal four-way match at NXT TakeOver: Rival. Banks then lost the title to Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, where the two of them put on an instant classic.

The match was highly praised by critics and won the Match of the Year accolade at the NXT Year-End Awards.

After leaving NXT, The Legit Boss went on to become a four-time RAW Women's Champion and the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. The latter came about after she aligned with her former rival turned best friend Bayley to form the Boss N' Hug Connection.

Banks will be facing her best friend and five other Superstars in a fatal five-way match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36 this coming weekend.
