This may not come as a huge surprise given the events of the past 48 hours, but Vince McMahon is reportedly a big fan of Nikki A.S.H.

This is according to WrestlingNews.co's Paul Davis, whose sources note that the former Nikki Cross has made herself "much more valuable" to WWE since coming up with her new superhero gimmick, which is already reaping huge dividends on WWE television.

Money in the Bank 2021 saw A.S.H. climb the ladder to claim the women's briefcase. She then became Raw Women's Champion 24 hours later, pinning Charlotte Flair to take the red strap as last night's show came to an end.

Davis published the following quote from an internal WWE source:-

“Vince loves the gimmick and feels that she has opened up a world of opportunities to sell more merchandise and for her to do some community outreach with the kids. She took the initiative and she got rewarded last night.”

Nikki debuted her superhero character on the 21 June episode of Raw, having come up with the idea herself. Given that it has already yielded the two biggest moments of the former Women's Tag Team Champion's WWE run thus far, it is easy to mark it a complete success - for the moment.
