Ricky Starks would love to see Sasha Banks in AEW.

The Team Taz member told the Pro Wrestling Illustrated podcast that Banks would be his number one pick if he had freedom to choose anybody in the wrestling world right now. Specifically, Starks wants to see Sasha become the first female member of his faction.

Ricky is mindful of Taz's stable getting overcrowded and thus "becoming something boring and just corny". He doesn't want Team Taz to become the next coming of the nWo 'B' team, basically; that group had countless members, and it was hard for fans to keep track of who was "4 Life".

So, people stopped caring.

Starks doesn't think Sasha joining would have a negative impact. Obviously, he's fantasy booking here. Banks earns huge money in WWE, and is one of the most important female stars Vince McMahon has. It'd take one hell of a deal to make Banks jump on over to Tony Khan's league any time soon.

Still, it's a compliment that Ricky would choose Sasha over everyone else on WWE's roster. He also picked her over anyone on the AEW side too.
