Where is Nikki Cross? 3 Possible Storylines

#3 She's staying in NXT building her brand

Nikki Cross in NXT

We have watched her scratch for glory at NXT only to come up short time and time again. With a fresh roster of talent in NXT and Shayna Baszler holding the belt we could still see Nikki get into some fresh Rivalries and possibly even get the gold! There aren't many veterans around in NXT's women's scene right now, and Nikki Cross has proven to us that she can put on an entertaining match even if you put her against Aliyah.

Her primal nature would be a great contrast against Kairi Sane, She would be a natural heel against Candice LaRae, and she's already been working the house shows with Vannessa Borne, Dakota Kai, and Bianca Bel Air. The WWE also announced that there would be a sequel to the Mae Young Classic, could we see a Heel take the trophy after Kairi Sane took gold last year?

NXT tends to gel really well with Heels that have a Heavy Metal edge to them, and Nikki Cross is one of the wildest and most authentic women on the roster. Her kind of crazy looks great on NXT, and I'm afraid that poor writing on Smackdown would limit the realness. I think back to the "interview" segment where she sat there laughing and saying "Ruby...Ruby Riott?" over and over. She seemed legitimately insane, and we all loved it.
