At the SmackDown Live television taping this afternoon at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, a familiar face from the NXT brand turned up.
NXT women’s superstar Nikki Cross made an appearance when SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch issued an open challenge after responding to RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey’s comments on RAW on Monday ahead of thier non-title “champion vs. champion” showdown at WWE Survivor Series.
When all was said-and-done, Cross ended up competing against Lynch in what turned out to be an excellent match that the Manchester crowd ate up. Check out videos and photos of Nikki Cross making her SmackDown Live debut against the SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch below.
