When Banks appeared on screen, several fans expressed surprise. They said they had no previous knowledge that the professional wrestler would appear on The Mandalorian as a guest star. Although a few others said that they were caught off-guard for a different reason. Seeing Banks with different hair color and a very different outfit made it harder for them to realize that she was on their TV screens.
