In one of the stranger moves of the night, Alexa Bliss was drafted to RAW with the first pick of the third round. Her tag team partner, Nikki Cross, wasn't even acknowledged when Bliss was drafted, but with the third pick of the fourth round, Cross followed her to RAW. If they weren't going to separate brands, why not just have them drafted together rather than as separate picks?

The partnership between Cross and Bliss has still been playing out on TV. Once Asuka hit Cross in the face with green mist, the former champs became faces. Bliss and Cross then came to the defense of Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, after a vicious Kabuki Warriors attack. Since Bliss and Cross became a team earlier this year, it wouldn't make sense to break them up at this point.

Unfortunately for Nikki Cross, she had to wait to see if she'd remain by her friend's side on RAW, or if she'd be sent to SmackDown on her own. Luckily for Cross, she gets to stay with Alexa Bliss on RAW. The former Women's Tag Team Champ expressed the roller coaster of emotions she felt after she joined her buddy on Monday nights.
