It is clear that no longer will Nikki Cross live in the shadow of Alexa Bliss on SmackDown and become her own twisted, deranged woman. And this is a positive development because even though she has been a part of successful collectives, such as SAnitY on NXT and the partnership with Alexa Bliss on SmackDown, essentially Nikki Cross is a distinct Superstar with a unique personality. And it is for this reason that I think that she could potentially be the ideal contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Bayley was doing Nikki Cross a favor. If it has been Bayley vs Nikki, the beating would’ve been twice as bad. #Smackdown #SmackdownOnFOX pic.twitter.com/cIuxZKWnsq

And continuing with her push on SmackDown, she could show up on this week's show and take the fight to Bayley, in order to face her at Extreme Rules.

Yes, we know that the money feud for the SmackDown Women's Championship is Sasha Banks vs. Bayley but truth be told, who wouldn't like to see Nikki Cross bring back her twisted side for a program against Bayley Dos Straps at Extreme Rules?
