WWE superstar Sasha Banks surprised kids at KIPP AMP Middle School in Brooklyn on Friday.
Students at the school started a wrestling club that consist of 35 students. The students review matches from WWE Raw and Smackdown during lunch and recess – and they say Sasha Banks is one of their favorite stars.

Banks heard about the wrestling club through a tweet and retweeted the video saying 'What period is this? I gotta come to this school!'

“Man, I was just so inspired by the school. I got tweeted this video a couple months ago. So, I had to stop by the KIPP Elementary School to see my man Mr. Perry. I stopped by his classroom. It was just so unbelievable to feel the energy of these kids to have a wrestling club about wrestling,” said Banks.

Banks says she wished she had a club like this when she was in school.

“If I had this when I was a kid, I would’ve had so many friends growing up. Just that there’s a wrestling club at this school can bring so many people together because you can see yourself in any superstar,” said Banks.
