“Mercedes (Banks’ real name) is such a beautiful blend of so many qualities that are phenomenal,” Sackhoff told Schmoedown Entertainment Network. “She is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met in my entire life.

“She is grateful and humble. She’s incredibly talented and fierce. She is open to learn. She’s gonna be a superstar and is absolutely amazing. She is so physically capable and makes it look easy.

“There are certain things I’ve been trained to do as a fighter and actor, but when they do it as a living and as an athlete and they are flying around, it’s very different than me pretending to do it in a foam pit with a bunch of five-year-olds.

“I really really want to fight with Sasha. I want Katee Sackhoff to show up and be her tag team partner for a WWE match.”

During the same interview, Sackhoff recalled how Banks insisted she boo her when she went to a WWE event.

“I’ve only been to one in my entire life and it was a Sasha Banks fight,” Sackhoff said. “I went with the entire stunt team from The Mandalorian watching Mercedes fight and she tells me that everybody boos. So I was like, ‘I’m going to cheer so hard.’ She goes, ‘Don’t you dare, you have to boo.’ I was like, ‘okay, I’ll boo you.’ I was booing so hard. I was drinking a beer and screaming at her.”

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
