Sasha Banks is sure living up to her “Boss” moniker as the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion finds herself even more “legit” in the Star Wars universe.
Banks is a featured player in the hit Disney Plus series, The Mandalorian and there’s no more of a pop culture nod than to receive a figure of one self in the global entertainment juggernaut that is Star Wars.
The announcement was made on a Hasbro Pulse Live Stream and Banks reacted with plenty of surprise as she shared the screenshot of the reveal on Twitter.

The character Banks portrays in the series is Koska Reeves, a Mandalorian warrior who fights as a member of the Night Owls. At this moment, she has appeared in two episodes.
With this news coming forth, Banks is set to have one heck of a weekend as she’ll be defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Carmella. Banks actually defeated Carmella early in their feud, but Carmella was granted another shot after allowing Banks to wrestle Reginald, her sommelier. Then this week on SmackDown, Banks went on to woo Reginald for potential freelance work before signaling her true intentions.
