WWE News Roundup: Controversial star praises Roman Reigns, canceled plans for major Brock Lesnar feud, The Bella Twins' huge update (June 9, 2021)

#1 Nikki Cross reveals how she improved as a WWE performer

Since returning to WWE RAW last month, Nikki Cross has made her presence felt in a storyline with top stars such as Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair. But before May 2021, Cross hadn't been significantly featured on television for several months.

Cross recently spoke with Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy. In the interview, the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion discussed her efforts in the months she didn't appear on WWE television. Cross revealed that she studied WWE Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat's matches, who is one of her favorite performers.

"So the last few months I've been training in-ring as much as I can," Nikki Cross said. "I've been training four times a week, just doing everything I can to be the best competitor that I can be, working on different things and just introducing new moves to the move set. I've been studying as much tape as I can, watching a lot of matches. I've been watching a lot of Ricky Steamboat, a big favorite of mine."

Nikki Cross also said that she has watched matches of her own to self-assess and improve as a competitor in WWE.

Since Cross has technically defeated Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley recently, do you think she should get a RAW Women's Championship shot soon?
