While there was no real heat between the two women, Sasha Banks has revealed she was "p*ssed off" after Ronda Rousey signed with WWE because the former UFC Champion was able to immediately earn more money than The Boss.

"I can only speak for myself, there might be a little tension but I don't know about real heat. I was p*ssed off that Ronda Rousey could come in, get more money than me, get a locker room instead of me, bring all these people backstage and get more time [on screen] than me. Excuse me? Who is you and what you do? Besides respecting everything she's done in the UFC and the fight world, when it comes to the squared circle, that's my home, that's work, that's why I'm a legit boss. Not Ronda Rousey," Sasha Banks told The Kurt Angle Show.

"There could've been a lot of tension from that and the other three, I just didn't know. I don't even know why they called themselves the 'Four Horsewomen'. I was like, thank you so much for being a fan, but that was our trademark, second after Ric Flair and WCW."

Banks and Rousey would later go one-on-one at Royal Rumble 2019 in a widely praised match. Speaking about working with Rousey, The Blueprint revealed she loved the match and is open to facing her again.

"I'm so down to work with Ronda again. I loved our match at Royal Rumble. To have a match with somebody that doesn't have the professional wrestling background, and it was so new and fresh. I love challenges like that and she got it so quick. She did love it, she was a fan and because of her fighting background, she knew just how to take things and it just flowed so easily and naturally for her. She was awesome to work with and I'd love to have another match with her again."
