Sasha Banks in Hollywood
While this is Banks\' first film role, she isn\'t new to Hollywood. In 2020, she set the internet ablaze when she appeared in two episodes of Disney\'s The Mandolorian. She played Koska Reeves.
Banks left WWE this past May, but is still training. Last month, it was revealed that she had been training with Juventud Guerrera in Mexico. While in Mexico, she was spotted backstage at a non-televised WWE show.
In her time away from wrestling, she has walked in New York Fashion Week for the first time alongside Naomi. Her CBD company with former WWE Superstar, Kalisto, won an award.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest.
