Recently, we got to see who Sasha Banks is outside of a WWE ring. She made her in-ring debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling, defeating Kairi to win the IWGP Women’s Championship at Battle in The Valley. One person who was in the arena to see that moment is the longtime friend of Banks, and current WWE superstar Bayley – who is missing her old travel partner.
Bayley Wasn’t About To Miss A Major Moment in Her Friends Career
While speaking with Ariel Helwani, Bayley would explain that she was sure to be in the arena for Sasha Banks NJPW debut – knowing this was a huge moment in her friends career. Bayley would say it was her own choice to be in the arena.
“I went there on my own. There were a few of us that flew out there just because she’s been there for all my big moments, you know, even as she hasn’t been a part of the company. I’ve made my return. I’ve had my big matches; she’s there for me. So, of course, I want to be there for her, and we’ve done so much together and WWE. She means so much to me and so much to the wrestling world. I have to be there for this moment.
I literally flew out right after Raw, got to Japan two hours before the show started, and raced over there and met everybody there and sat in the crowd, kind of incognito. It was so magical to be there for her. I just knew how important it was to her, and she just loves this. Everybody knows how much she loves this and how much wrestling means to her, and how much WWE means to her, and she wouldn’t be there without WWE. So I think it meant a lot to her that I was able to go.”
Bayley Misses Travelling Alongside Sasha Banks
When asked if she believes Banks will return to WWE someday, Bayley is optimistic that she will be able to travel alongside Banks someday.
“I’ll say yes. Because I mean, this is her home. This is her dream, and I love to see what she’s doing and what she’s going to be doing over the next few months. She’s going to literally take over the world, take the world by storm, but I know this is her home and where her heart is. By her heart, I mean me, so she needs to come back to me, you know? I need her, I need my travel partner, but I’m gonna say yes like I’ll never give up hope that she’ll come back.”
