10 Occupational Wrestling Gimmicks You Won't Believe
7. Nikkita Lyons
Just one of a constant stream of newcomers on NXT 2.0 since the brand was reimagined and relaunched in 2021, Nikkita Lyons' gimmick has been made crystal clear by vignettes even though how exactly that overlaps into wrestling is almost entirely nonsensical.
She's told us all about the life she grew up in, how it tied into music, and how music has made her realise the power of bringing people together...which is...why she now wants to work an industry rooted in combat.
Dated and dithering tripe, Lyons might yet rule in the ring and the gimmick might somehow end up as a rule-proving exception, but yet again will questions be asked about why she's giving up mythical success in the music industry for a gruelling life hitting the WWE canvas 50 times a night? Jeff Jarrett at least rationalised that wrestling could be a stepping stone towards music supremacy, and even Bad Bunny only bothers with the big shows.
It's silly, and scarcely believable. And it's getting increasingly familiar on the show...
