The Star Wars and WWE universes collided in a big way with Sasha Banks’ – real name Mercedes Varnado – introduction as Koska Reeves in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 2. But it’s how the Superstar got the gig that might raise some eyebroꦫws – and it involves chicken wings.

Speaking to , Banks revealed how she was cast: &ldquo✱;So Jon Favreau came to me because he watched an interview that I did with Hot Ones. And he really liked me and got my contact information. Then on FaceTime he asked me to be part of The Mandalorian. I was like, ‘Well, I cannot say no,’ but I was so incredibly nervous.”

Hot Ones – the wing-eating YouTube interview show perhaps best known for Paul Rudd&r🌌squo;s “Look at us” reaction meme –  and FaceTime is certainly one way to get hired on to one of the biggest shows on Earth. F𒊎or many, that’s just a way to kill time on a Friday night.

Despite her nerves, Banks was effusive about the whole experience on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 2, episode 3.

“I still just can’t get over how awesome t🐬hat was,” she said. &ldqu꧑o;Not only to be part of Star Wars but one of legit the greatest episodes in the history of television like that. I could watch that all the time. That was such a bad ass introduction to the world of Star Wars. I’m so thankful I saved Baby Yoda!”

For now, it seems like a one-and-done appearance for her character. What that means 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:for the꧟ likes of the returning Bo-Katan is unclear, but seemingly Sasha Banks’ im💧mediate short-term future lies in laying the smackdown in👍 the squared circle, and not the Outer Rim.
