Banks rarely even had the chance to get even with her nemesis. Every time she appeared to have the upper hand Carmella’s sommelier Reginald helped even the odds. This infuriated the Boss who demanded a match with Reginald in exchange for a title shot.

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.
