#1. Will Nikki Cross sneak into the RAW Women's title picture?

Nikki Cross has quietly gone from having no screen time to a potential RAW Women's championship contender. It's hard to say she doesn't deserve it. In the past couple of weeks, she has "defeated" Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley on RAW after both women failed to beat her in two minutes.

This week, Adam Pearce suggested that Flair and Ripley team up ahead of their match at Hell in a Cell to face Cross and a partner of her choice. That partner turned out to be the last RAW Women's Champion Asuka, and the two worked well together.

It was over four years ago when Asuka and Nikki Cross had an incredible Last Woman Standing Match on NXT. Last night, the two teamed up and were successful. That was, of course, due to the circumstances. While it looked like Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair's partnership would be an "iron sharpens iron" kind of ordeal, it quickly broke down and the two women started attacking each other.

It culminated with Flair hitting the Natural Selection on Ripley, allowing Nikki Cross to pin her. This will likely be an immediate set-up for Cross to challenge for the RAW Women's title post Hell in a Cell.
