Speaking of the new SmackDown women's division, once of its newer members got the biggest match of her career last night by winning a six-way number one contender's match against Carmella, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Lacey Evans, and Dana Brooke.

Sure, this is a filler feud, but the match was a good showcase for the new division, and Nikki Cross has been a surprising breakout performer in 2019. No one quite expected her to do as well as on the main roster as she has done.

She'll lose the title match against Bayley because of course, she will, but she has a good chance to make an impression and get more title shots in the future. Finally separated from Alexa Bliss in the draft, her singles career looks like it might be promising, and the match with Bayley will be the first step on that road.
