The WWE Women's Tag Champs Boss and Glow are looking to grow

Sasha Banks and Naomi have a long history, both as partners and as rivals, but at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, they wrote another exciting chapter in their history by winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in front of more than 80,000 people at AT&T Stadium. As former world singles champions, these two popular stars bring something special to the ring, but when they come together it seems like real magic is made, earning them the nickname: "Boss and Glow."

During WWE's big show at the O2 Arena recently, M&F was able to speak with WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Randy Orton and Matt Riddle about how professional wrestlers should use their smarts have a sustainable career. Of course, a big problem that makes the life of a WWE Superstar all the more challenging is the fact that, unlike other forms of sports and entertainment, there is simply no off-season in WWE.

So M&F Hers asked Sasha Banks and Naomi how they manage such a tough schedule and soon found that both partners bring individual qualities to help the team as a whole. As “Boss and Glow,” Banks and Naomi create fantastic chemistry that forces them to always do their best.

Many people who watch WWE may not understand how hard it is to perform at the level that you both do. There is no offseason in WWE. How do you feel throughout the year?

Naomi: I think it's the passion and the motivation and the competition never ends either, so I think I just know that I have to stay healthy, I have to stay in shape, I have to stay in the gym and try not to get injured because your place can be taken like that. That motivates me.

Sasha Banks: Plus, working out every day helps keep you from getting injured. Move your body; I like to do yoga and meditate, it helps me a lot not to injure myself. And stretching, cooling down, icing myself before my matches. When we have time off, when it's a day a week, just having that time to like zone-in just for yourself and make sure you're okay mentally, physically... everything. I feel like that's how we take care of ourselves, you know?

What are the different demands you face as a tag team versus as individual competitors, and have there been any adjustments to make it work?

Naomi: Honestly, I think in some ways it's easier when you're a singles competitor because you only have to worry about and focus on yourself, your needs and your wants. You know how you look, you don't have to worry about the other person or ask them; “What is our style?” All these little things, but I think that's what's special about Sasha and I working together. I feel like it's so organic and natural and simple, and we kind of think the same way about a lot of things.

Sasha Banks: Same style.

Naomi: Same style!

Sasha Banks: The same glow!

Naomi: On so many things that we want to do, we just work together so easily and I love that. And it's not always easy in a tag team because you don't always have that flow and vibe with each other, it's not always easy, you butt heads a lot, but I don't have that with her. I've never had that with her before. So I knew this would work and I'm really excited to see where we can grow in areas that I feel like I can improve on. She supports me in this and I know that I can confide in her and ask her things and learn and grow with her too. I mean, we have a ten-time champion here. I'd be crazy if I didn't pick her brain!?

Do you find that you inspire each other to try harder?

Naomi: I think so, in several ways. Not just in training, but I feel like one thing I really admire about Sasha is her wrestling IQ and how differently she structures matches compared to how I structure matches, and I feel like our styles are pretty similar. We can both do high-flying things, we like to do cool things, but I just think that her psychology is something that I think is outstanding and special about her. So she challenges me to structure differently or challenge myself with how I do these matches and get more out of the matches. I definitely think we do.

Sasha Banks: Yes, and Naomi helps me in and out of the ring. You know, whether I'm with the fans and with the girls, just their energy and your personality. It just lights up a room, so I always want to feed off of it and be like you whenever I'm out there, and even in the ring you shine, and she shines so bright that I'm just like, "Whoa!" I need to shine my light on a different energy because it's just so bright out there, and it's so athletic and I get so jealous of it, and I'm just like, "Okay, I need to train a little harder." (Naomi laughs). 'Cause, man, this girl's got hops, she's got jumps, she's got jumps, she's got dives, and I'm so happy that you're my tag team partner because if it was the other side, I'd be a little scared! For sure.

There is no doubt that "Boss and Glow" are fighting champions, and since winning the titles at WrestleMania, they have dominated the competition on a global scale. Last month in London, Sasha and Naomi defeated worthy opponents in Natalya and Shayna Baszler, and they're already eyeing a return to the UK, where we could see them defend the gold again, this time during the big Clash at the Castle. ‘ Great show next September in Cardiff, Wales.

Of course, “Boss and Glow” still have a long way to go until then. The duo will need to keep piling up those wins on Raw and SmackDown to pave the way to Clash at the Castle, but their ambitions don't end in Cardiff. Sasha Banks told M&F Hers that she and Naomi would love to be the first ever women's tag team in Main Event A Pay-per-view. It appears that big things are ahead for these champions and the entire WWE women's tag team division.
