WWE Superstar Nikki Cross made a huge name for herself in WWE with her multiple championship accolades. Her superhero gimmick, Nikki A.S.H. significantly elevated her career in the company in 2021. She became a fan favorite and rose to prominence on the roster with her championship victory against Charlotte Flair. The 34-year-old recently tweeted and said that she is skeptical whether her WWE run would once again witness such a spike.
Nikki Cross has made her empathetic presence known to the WWE Universe through her tweet. She took to Twitter while replying to a post that celebrated her Raw Women’s Championship victory two years ago. Cross retweeted it with a question asking whether she “can ever get back to this point.” She then made a positive statement, writing, “We’ll see” and kept up the hopes for her success.
The former 24/7 champion addressed her willingness to wrestle in WWE. She concluded her statement, saying that she has so much left to do in the industry. In 2021, Nikki Cross cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Charlotte Flair and won the Raw Women’s Title. It was surely one of the most memorable moments of her career.
Her championship victory came just a day after her Money in the Bank contract win at the eponymous event. The main event of the first ever Raw in front of a live audience after the pandemic era gained the spotlight with a match for the Raw Women’s Championship. Although Charlotte Flair retained her title over Rhea Ripley, she lost the championship a few minutes later when Nikki cashed in her briefcase to win the title.

Nikki Cross was featured on “Main Event” prior to Monday Night Raw
Last week on Raw, Nikki Cross wrestled against Shayna Baszler in a squash match. Shayna’s Kirifuda Clutch made Nikki tap out after 18 minutes into the match. It was to fuel Shayna’s feud with Ronda Rousey for their match at SummerSlam.
But this week Nikki Cross was absent from the WWE programming. However, she made an appearance prior to the show. The taping for WWE’s Main Event show happened before Raw that will air on Hulu this Thursday. At that taping, Nikki faced Kayden Carter in a singles match and defeated the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.
The other match on that show had Sanga securing his dominant win over Akira Tozawa. Main Event will be available on Peacock and WWE Network after two-week of its original airing this Thursday. Nikki’s future in WWE is still in an unhinged state but as of now her career saw a significant downfall, compared to her time in 2021.
