Wrestler Sasha Banks Sailor Moon Royal Rumble Cosplay

Mercedes Varnado aka Sasha Banks is a professional wrestler in the WWE! She also played Koska Reeves in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Sasha Banks recently entered the Royal Rumble ring rocking this fabulous Sailor Moon inspired wrestling cosplay! Born in 1992 she shares a birth year with the original anime and watched it at a very young age. Here’s a quote from her about that from an interview with comicbook.com:

“My first thing wasn’t Star Wars, it was Sailor Moon. When I was maybe like five years old, I started watching Sailor Moon, and I had no idea of what time was or anything. It always came on at 6:00 AM in the morning, but I would stay up all night just because I would know it would come out sometimes dark, sometimes in the morning, I had no idea. But I had to stay up and watch my Sailor Moon because I thought I was just like Serena. I was a meatball head, I was clumsy, I was always late for school, and she really taught me how to believe in myself, my own powers, and the powers of the universe and the moon. So still to this day, she is my favorite and I can’t believe how much she’s played a role in my life.”
