Sasha Banks is one of the greatest female talents to have ever worked for WWE. Indeed, it’s a testament to not only her ability, but her popularity and her connection with the fans that ever since she disappeared from the WWE landscape earlier this year, she’s remained a topic of persistent rumors and conversation speculating on whether or when she’ll be back.
Like a number of other women in wrestling, she found the love of her life in the business. However, her husband is not another featured WWE Superstar or even actively wrestling at all nowadays. So, who is Sarath Ton?
Sarath Ton Was A Wrestler

Though Sarath Ton is not actively wrestling today, he was indeed a wrestler at one time and actually met Sasha Banks when they were both coming up through the indies. They both found themselves on the NXT roster as well. As an in-ring performer, Ton went by Mikaze and by Rutherford Hayes. He captured titles on the New England independent circuit, but may have peaked in terms of fame when he made a one-off appearance as an enhancement talent opposite Ryback on an episode of WWE Raw.
Ton suffered a concussion in an NXT match, teamed with Jason Jordan against The Vaudevillians, which led to him retiring from the ring. The injury did not mean that he left wrestling altogether, though, but rather that he embraced one of his related talents.
Sarath Ton Has Designed Gear For Sasha Banks And Others

Sarath Ton found a second, and in some ways more noteworthy, career as someone who designed gear for wrestlers. He discussed the trade at some length in a visit to Renee Paquette’s podcast, The Sessions (h/t Fightful). Ton explained, “I understand what it's like to be a wrestler and to want to walk in feeling a certain way … Sometimes it's just changing your look drastically from one end to the other.' It can be the plainest gear possible. If it's a drastic change, then it conveys a whole other side of you." The combination of Ton’s experience as a wrestler himself and his understanding of the psychology of a wrestling wardrobe each make him an asset in this domain.
Later in the interview Ton discussed designing gear for female talents in WWE, as well as a fun bit of trivia related to Logan Paul--that Ton was responsible for his look when he worked his first match at WrestleMania 38. Of course, Ton has also designed quite a bit of gear for Sasha Banks.
How Sarath Ton And Sasha Banks Got Together And Got Married

According to reporting from Sportskeeda, Sasha Banks and Sarath Ton met on the indies in 2010, and it was Ton offering to help her with her gear that first drew the two together. Serendipitously, they each found their way into the WWE developmental system in a similar time frame.
Banks has remained largely private about personal matters, and accordingly, she and Ton had a small wedding in August 2016. They remain together to this day, and Ton took to Twitter to lash out at outlets reporting false rumors about his spouse following her abrupt departure from WWE this past spring.
Sasha Banks and Sarath Ton generally seem to be a well liked and respected couple. They came up in the wrestling world together, and while The Boss’s future in wrestling remains unclear, it seems Ton will remain in high demand within the business for his creative vision and talents when it comes to design.
