SASHA BANKS has revealed how she and Bayley convinced Vince McMahon to create the women’s tag-team titles.
The duo won the inaugural belts at Elimination Chamber in January and will defend them at WrestleMania 35 in a fatal four-way.
But Sasha has now admitted it took 12 months of long-persuasion before WWE’s owner eventually created the championships.
KNOCKING ON VINCE’S DOOR
The 27-year-old told Sky Sports: “It felt like the whole of last year we were asking, like we would be knocking on the door of Vince‘s office every week.
“Me and Bayley would go up to him and some weeks he’d say no and some weeks he’d say yes and then bam, it’s here.
“So that just proves that you should never give up on your dreams. If you’re annoying enough you can make things happen and that’s probably what happened, he just got annoyed with us.
“I hope he understands how important this is to us and we’re going to make it really special.”
“That’s just Vince every week – you never know how he’s going to be. You just have to keep on trying.”
IICONIC CHOICE
Sasha and Bayley will battle Beth Phoenix and Natalya, Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka and The IIconics on April 7 on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
And Sasha believes one of their opponents would have been ideal candidates to become the first-ever champs had herself and Bayley fallen short.

She added: “For me I would’ve said The IIconics, although they’re still quite brand new.
“And they’ve had the dream to be WWE tag-team champions since they were kids too.
“They seem like a real team too and if it wasn’t us then I’d like to have seen them have it.
“Hopefully we can have some good matches with them.”
