'Make the most of your minutes', they say. Nikki Cross did just that every single time she appeared on camera as part of a tag combo with Alexa Bliss throughout 2019-2020. Actually, she stole the scene several times during matches on SmackDown last year (even when she wasn't wrestling), and earned on-air plaudits from Michael Cole for her energetic approach.

So much for that.

Cross has been shunted aside since splitting from Alexa. Meanwhile, her old partner has gone from strength-to-strength as Bray Wyatt's 'Fiendish' queen, and that hasn't left much room for Nikki. Her Women's Tag-Team Title win alongside Bliss at 'Mania 36 feels like it happened 10 years ago, never mind 12 months.

Cross' last Raw match happened on the 1 February episode. Before that, she was turning into something of a Main Event regular, and she doesn't seem to have a hope in hell of performing in Tampa. Fingers crossed she gets another chance soon.
