Until the very end, this was an underwhelming episode of NXT!

#2 A face turn?

Is Nikki Cross a babyface now? — Is Nikki Cross a babyface?

Nikki Cross does not behave like most traditional babyfaces do. However, she did align herself with Ruby Riot during her tag team match against the Iconic Duo, sneaking up to the ring, from the crowd.

We saw the rest of SAnitY appear to be working as babyfaces at the last Takeover event, where they defeated the Authors of Pain. Has Cross also turned over a new leaf and become a babyface? It will be interesting to see how this changes the dynamic of the division.

Special kudos to Ruby Riot for the befuddled expression on her face, after the interference from Cross. This made the whole segment, in our opinion. Let's hope Cross' motives are clear in the weeks that follow.
