The WWE brand split has led to a much-needed shake-up for the brand, with some new feuds emerging and a new rosters spots leading to a few returning stars.

The women's division has also benefitted from the renewed focus, at least on the Smackdown side of things. RAW is a bit of a different story, though, as the field seems much thinner than their rival brand. There hasn't been much movement there, and the same feuds seem to happen constantly, not due to them being developed, but more because there aren't that many options.

Sasha Banks recently spoke to the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast about the brand split, and what the issues have been so far.

"I think it's good that we're split and more opportunities can happen for women, but we really don't have enough women. Like, I wrestle the same people every single week, Dana Brooke or Charlotte, Charlotte, Dana Brooke. There [are] only six of us and I think that's the hardest part, just we need more faces on RAW."

Part of that is due to injuries and outside problems. Paige was picked for the RAW roster but was then suspended for 30 then 60 days according to the wellness policy. That took her out of the lineup right after the brand split, and then her neck surgery took her out of action even longer. Emma was also out of contention until recently, where she is set to make a return to the roster with a new character, Emmalina.

That should help fill out the roster once those additions happen, but in the meantime, there are some stars Banks would like to work with, including Bayley. Unfortunately, besides Bayley, most of those potential feuds happen to be on the Smackdown Live roster.

"I think in due time [a Bayley feud will happen], but other than that, I mean, Natalya's on SmackDown, but I haven't really had a good feud with her and I would love to wrestle her. Naomi, Carmella, Alexa [Bliss], everyone that's on SmackDown. Dammit."

Many are expecting a trade or possibly a few swaps to happen between the brands at some point, so maybe that will help the current situation on RAW.

If you had your choice, who would you like to see her in a feud with? Let us know in the comments.
