What we learned from the WWE this week: 12th June, 2017

#6 And the Superstar of the week is... Nikki Cross

Leading the way

This was not a strong week for the WWE. Last time round we had two very passable shows and a lot of movement towards new, exciting feuds. These past few days have felt a little stale, which is a shame considering we should all be looking forward to a PPV on Sunday night.

NXT was a breath of fresh air, however, and the two women mainly responsible for this were Asuka and Nikki Cross. It was therefore quite difficult to choose between them for Superstar of the Week, but Cross just managed to pip her rival to the post.

This has a lot to do with what Cross has given to the division overall in recent weeks. As good as Asuka is, the women’s division as a whole has lost a lot of its popularity since the days of the Four Horsewomen. This isn’t great considering Asuka was meant to be the face to take the roster into a new era.

Cross, and to a lesser extent Ruby Riot and Ember Moon, have given the champion more competition, with the Scot in particular showing the willingness to drag the division back to its former glory. Congratulations, Nikki Cross.
