People went nuts for her and she celebrated with the fans. I mean she went deep into the crowd and security chasing her. She really seems like a good person. I'm thrilled for her.

Yup. I'm interested in who eventually dethrones her. It would be underwhelming if its Charlotte or Rhea. I would wager an NXT callup. Maybe someone like Io Shirai, since I don't know if she's going to make it past Takeover as a tag champ. And she already has a femme fatale look with her entrance and gear, so she would be the perfect foil for Nikki.
That being said, the audience would very likely cheer for Io considering just how good she is, so who knows.

Shotzi on Twitter just referenced the thing last year when the PC talents were acting as the crowd for a few months, and Nikki actually shouted them all pizza one night. Almost a Super Hero? Argument could be made she’s been one the whole time.

I doubt it, but it'd be a huge relief if Becky/Charlotte is just a regular grudge match and Nikki gets to have a title match with someone new at SS. Maybe against Eva with Doudrop in her corner and Bliss in hers?

I don't know about an actual dethroning...but given their past history and how out there their respective characters are right now, perhaps while Charlotte and Rhea do their thing, we get Nikki vs. Alexa, the latter being the supervillain to the former's superhero?

I would like to see that. Hell, we could have had a feud between the two once they were drafted to Raw. But no, WWE just had to put Nikki Cross on the Main Event.

Liv should've won. She was the hotter hand and is more over. Nikki winning felt like Otis winning last year. Instead of going with the best story potential and the wrestler who could use it the most, they went the comedy route while likely once again not having any kind plan with what they want to do. I don't have anything against her and think she's a fine performer but Nikki to me is a midcard comedy wrestler. That's her ceiling. I don't see any main event superstar potential there at all. On top of that this new superhero gimmick is super lame and has no chance of catching on. The fact that she was the least over person in match other then Tamina and Natalya (which goes without saying) already shows that it was a mistake. Last Year Otis was by far the best idea for a winner... dude was massively over and was just in one of the hottest angles in recent history... dude should have been a megaface for years just coasting off that... but... then they decided to remove literally everything that got him over from him and here we are.

There has been a failed cash in though. Damien Sandow lost to Cena when he tried to cash in. Also Corbin failed against freaking Jinder, due to Cena(!) interfering. From what I remember, Cena actually didn't do anything in that match. He was layed out on the apron... he started getting up Corbin took a swing at him instead of focusing on Jinder and Jinder did what Jinder always did cash in on a distraction victory. It's not Cena's fault that Corbin couldn't focus on getting the job done

Otis was one of the better parts of the show at the time last year but he didn't need the briefcase. The fact that they obviously didn't have a plan for him made it an even worse decision.

Alexa is a face, and also she is busy about to be entering a feud with Eva. There is also the problem of the fact that supernatural characters shouldn't be allowed to hold titles, especially ones like Alexa.
