The last 24 hours for Nikki A.S.H. aka Nikki Cross has been busy. She won the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, unhooking the contract. Then, a day later, she cashed in on the newly crowned Raw Women’s champion, Charlotte Flair, and ended her one-day reign to become the champion for the first time.
A month ago, Nikki was a mid-carder with no particular direction. Then she came up with her ‘Superhero’ gimmick and pitched it to the chairperson, Vince McMahon himself.
As he gave thumbs up to her, Nikki Cross became WWE’s own superhero – Nikki A.S.H. (Almost A Superhero).

Cross said, “So, for me, I was actually saying this earlier on too, I was such a huge fan of the X-Men cartoon and the Spider-Man cartoon. I’ve always loved superhero cartoons and superhero movies, Marvel, DC, the Justice League, everything, Suicide Squad, everything with Marvel, we’ve just finished watching Loki, which I’m not going to, no spoilers.”
“So it just felt like the time was right, the time was right, and I always loved Hurricane Helms, the Hurricane character, Mighty Molly, I loved that when I first watched WWE. So for me, it’s, let’s take something we all love, like superheroes, let’s take wrestling, and let’s put them together in this lovely little fusion.”
