10 WWE Wrestlers Triple H SAVED In 2022

10. Nikki Cross

Nikki's 'Almost A Super Hero' (A.S.H) moniker was charming and felt like a nice throwback to the days of The Hurricane when it debuted in the summer of 2021. It was always going to be a short-lived curiosity though, and fans were super-bored of the A.S.H thing by 2022.

Change was needed. Change happened.

The pint-sized Scot burst back into view as Nikki Cross in late-October, and she's been back to her unnerving best ever since. There's an infectious energy about Nikki's performances, but Triple H knew he had to tone down the cartoonish elements of her presentation (whether heel or babyface) and start getting serious again.

What was the alternative? Continue plundering the A.S.H mine when it was abundantly clear to anyone with eyes that the gimmick had run its course? That might not have stopped the prior regime from beating their heads against a proverbial brick wall with Nikki, or doubling down on the persona's silliest aspects.
