4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 18)
5. Stupid Babyfaces Are Stupid
Speaking of idiots.
Nikki Cross is brilliant when she's booked properly. She really is - the Scot has energy for days, can steal every segment she's involved in and clearly gives a sh*t about giving her all. That's why it's so annoying that WWE are turning her into someone that's genuinely hard to sympathise with.
She shouldn't be weighing up apologies from Alexa Bliss this deep into the story. Bliss blasted her with Bray Wyatt's finish last week, for crying out loud. If anything, Cross should've been motivated to get some revenge on SmackDown and show Alexa that she won't be pushed around. She's the top contender for Bayley's title!
On the plus side, Alexa is the most interesting she's been for years, but WWE need to ditch this tired association between her and Nikki. It's played out, and it isn't doing either woman any favours at this point.
