A lot of fans were upset when it was revealed that Nikki Cross won’t be a part of Sanity when they make their main roster debut as part of the SmackDown Live brand.
Though the female star has finally made her first main roster appearance now and she wrestled in a SmackDown brand Live Event on July 9th from Augusta, Maine.
The event saw the NXT Star teaming up with former Women’s Champion Becky Lynch to defeat the duo known as the Iconics. Below is a video of the two after their victory:

Although it’s worth mentioning here that WWE has had a number of NXT Stars work main roster Live Events in the past but many of them have been kept on the Development Territory for long after that.
Since as of this writing Cross is not scheduled to be a part of this week’s SmackDown Live, it’s hard to say if this appearance means something for her future.
For those who don’t know, when WWE announced that Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain will be joining SmackDown Live, it was reported that the company has decided to keep Nikki on NXT for the time being.
The reason for this was described to be the call up of other top female talents of the brand and the Officials reportedly kept her on NXT because the Champion Shayna Baszler needed an experienced name to work a strong feud with.
