There was a glint in Nikki's eye on SmackDown when she started showing cracks in her psyche and appeared to slowly morph back into her old SAnitY character. Becoming the first ever co-SmackDown Women's Champions means everything to Cross. This is her ticket to Alexa Bliss' heart and permanent friendship

Boom, double cross. Literally.

Nikki is the clear sympathetic figure caught in the middle of Alexa's feud with Bayley, but she might also be playing the long game. After bagging the championship with Bliss, Cross could celebrate then turn on her so-called best friend. The twist here would be that Alexa was using Nikki, and vice versa. In other words, they were both playing one another to get what they wanted.

That sets up a natural rivalry between the co-champs to see who is the 'Undisputed' titleholder. That's perfect for SummerSlam, and it gives Cross a well-deserved top feud she can sink her teeth into. Not everything is as it seems, and all that.
