#2 Nikki Cross

In any other era, she would have been NXT Women's Champion
Unfortunately for Nikki Cross, she came to NXT at a time when Asuka was the reigning women's champion, on her way to her 523-day undefeated streak. Despite the fact that she put on some great matches and that her character was perhaps more deranged than any other female in WWE history, she never got a championship run.

Cross has won gold outside WWE, but never in the company. Now that Asuka is moving to RAW, there's a high possibility that Cross could hold the title next. We do not know how the following weeks will pan out, but Cross has turned face and allied herself with Ruby Riot in a strange partnership.
Cross seems like a character who will have a great run in the main roster. Her gimmick demands that she be booked in storylines, and not random matches. Much like Alexa Bliss, there is a great possibility that even if she does not get an NXT Women's Championship run, she'll be a big deal when she goes to RAW or SmackDown Live.
What do you think, reader? Will Cross get her due at NXT Takeover: Houston? Or will she get her first taste of gold on the main roster only?
