WWE SmackDown star Sasha Banks has said she would pick Io Shirai and Xia Li from the NXT brand to join her faction.
Banks was backed up by Zelina Vega and Carmella on last week’s SmackDown, and it seems that may not have been a one-off.
Speaking with WWE Deutschland, Banks was asked which stars she would pick from NXT to expand the group, and answered Shirai and Li.
She said:
“Hmm, that’s a good one. I might have to choose either Xia Li or Io Shirai. I think they would be good in my little… my group.”
Li has competed in a few dark matches before SmackDown shows recently so looks to be on the list of potential call-ups, while Shirai is currently NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion with Zoey Stark.
There had been concerns that the scheduled Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair match at SummerSlam may have been called off, but Belair has been spotted in Phoenix, Arizona for SmackDown tonight, and reports have stated the match is still set to go ahead.
