Recent NXT 2.0 returnee Zoey Stark would much rather wrestle on flagship show Raw than Friday's SmackDown brand.

Stark told WWE Espanol that she's specifically keen on taking her skills to Mondays because that's when Becky Lynch works - Zoey would love to step into the ring opposite Lynch, but she also pinpointed current Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair as another dream opponent.

Stark could only name Charlotte Flair from SmackDown, so Raw wins this fantasy match battle 2-1.

It's interesting to hear NXT stars speak so openly about their plans on the main roster. WWE's track record when it comes to call-ups is spotty at best, but Zoey believes she could make a splash and turn heads with the right workers. 'Big Time Becks' sits right at the top of her personal wishlist.

Stark recently returned to NXT screens by winning a 20-woman Battle Royal on this past week's episode. The win makes Zoey WWE's new number one contender to Mandy Rose's NXT Women's belt, so that's something Stark has to look forward to.

Beyond that? She's already plotting some major matches, and she wants to work them on Raw.
