Because Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross have such distinct personas, I loved that Cross was getting solo screen time on SmackDown this week. But at the same time, if this was a push for her, shouldn't she have pinned Sasha Banks?
I love the fact that WWE is trying something new and the unhinged part of Nikki Cross' persona is emerging on WWE SmackDown, but I have to say that this is one case where Sasha Banks could have afforded to take a loss even if she is going into a match with The IIconics on RAW. Yes, she is the current reigning and defending women's tag team Champion but this was a singles match.
Speaking of something new, do check out Sportskeeda's weekly news and rumor coverage from Stephanie Chase, who will keep you up to date on what's happening on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, provided you subscribe to our YouTube channel.
