You read that right: Sasha is a first cousin of Snoop Dogg, who has been a big influence on Sasha’s wrestling career, starting with taking her to WWE events in her younger days. After that, Sasha became even more hooked on becoming a wrestler, so when it was time, she started training to achieve her dream.
Once she made it to NXT, she initially was a pretty vanilla character, without much depth or purpose. Through frustration and some advice from other wrestlers, she wrote out a list of characters with detailed backgrounds, one of which was based off of Snoop Dogg himself. Thanks to Snoop’s swagger and calling himself “The Boss”, Sasha adapted that style to her own, and the rest is history.
