WWE Stomping Grounds: 10 Things That Must Happen

8. Nikki Cross Accidentally Costs Bayley

The fact that Alexa Bliss is a manipulative, using little bitch is WWE's worst kept secret, and it's slightly odd then that Nikki Cross is buying into Alexa's crap despite knowing her history. Bayley even spelled that history out for her on Raw by name-checking Mickie James, Nia Jax and everyone else Bliss has used on her road to the top.

If nothing else, it's good to see Cross getting some screen time, and at least she has a story pinning down her performances. We'd like to see it keep going too, and (sorry, Bayley fans) that may necessitate a SmackDown Women's Title change on Sunday. Oh yes, 'Little Miss Bliss' is back in amongst the belts, baby.

All thanks to Cross.

The key thing here will be maintaining Nikki's babyface character. She should accidentally get involved in the match and distract Bayley long enough for Alexa to take advantage. In the aftermath, Cross would be slightly disturbed that she wrecked Bayley's dreams but also happy that she helped a "friend".
