Mick Foley shares incredible backstage story from the night of Sasha Banks' title win
Sasha Banks became the new face of women's wrestling in WWE by capturing the Women's Championship in a sensational match last Monday night on Raw. Along with Bayley's debut the night before at Battleground, Banks' triumph was one of the best moments of the year in WWE - a clear indication that women's wrestling has been completely revolutionized by the arrival of the former NXT stars.
Mick Foley, who has long been a vocal supporter of the NXT's Four Horsewomen, wrote a lengthy and emotional behind-the-scenes account of what was happening backstage on Raw while Banks and Charlotte were battling in the ring, and it's a must-read for wrestling fans.
