Nikki Cross won a match last week that guarantees her a shot at SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley, somewhere down the line. This week, she has her hands full as she takes on God's Greatest Creation, Mandy Rose in a singles exhibition match. The two women will want to make the best impression on the blue brand, especially because it can be a whole new reboot for their careers.
One has to be wary of the fact that Mandy Rose will probably have Sonya Deville at ringside to watch her back at all times. Alexa Bliss will also be present in all likelihood because even though they aren't tag team Champions anymore, one has to assume that Nikki Cross will want some backup as well. We also need to look out for Bayley because she's embraced her heel side and with Sasha Banks by her side, she will look to cause chaos.

While Nikki Cross is the clear favorite to win the match, Mandy Rose has all the tools to be the face of SmackDown on FOX, as we all know. So don't be surprised if there's an upset along the way.
