Clearly someone on the WWE writing team has been taking notice of Nikki Cross.

After being invisible for months, Cross has gotten some decent screen time the past week-plus, and she’s been paired with Alexa Bliss, making for some interesting contrasts between the two. We got a little of this Monday night, with Cross accompanying Alexa for her Moment of Bliss segment. Nikki stood a little too close to Bliss, with Alexa being startled as she turned around and had Cross in her face.

The interaction makes you wonder how this will play out over time. Will Bliss continuously take advantage of Nikki, or will Cross’ antics drive Alexa crazy?

For now though, it’s great to see Nikki get more screen time and get to do something more than be a random face on Raw.
