7 Mistakes WWE Made With The 2019 Superstar Shake-Up
3. Nikki Cross Still Doesn't Have A Home
The point of the 2019 Superstar Shake-up was to not only to freshen up the SmackDown Live and Raw rosters but also to assign all of the latest NXT call-ups to one show at long last. Most of them have been pulling double duty for several months now, so the Shake-up was supposed to solve that problem.
Ricochet, Lacey Evans and EC3 ended up on Raw. Lars Sullivan and Heavy Machinery were put on SmackDown. Nikki Cross, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen during the Superstar Shake-up and, as of this writing, has yet to be assigned to either Raw or SmackDown.
At last word, per PWInsider, Cross is set to report to the Raw brand, but that has yet to be confirmed by the company, nor did she appear on Monday night. In other words, there is no official update on her status and where she might end up, making her the equivalent to what Heath Slater was at the conclusion of the 2016 draft: WWE's sole free agent.
Then again, at least Slater was a regular on WWE programming at the time and wasn't completely forgotten about, unlike Cross.
