Well, hopefully, it works out since it is her idea Doing this before they go back to live crowds is bold tho. Either this is going to be really over or the crowd is going to shit on it This seems like the thing that live fans will at first like ironically, but grow to be fond of.

It's not like she was doing something good before this so I'm cool with it. It's her idea, it gives her personality and it worked for Molly Holly so yeah I'm cool with it.
Hell, this thread got 3 pages already and social media's talking all about it so it's a positive compared to her nothing gimmick before.

Besides the initial shock, my only issue is that the mask design could be a little better. If this gets over I Could see it like the hurricane where the suit gets refined a bit over time.

Fans can get down with weird shit It also depends on the amount of cheese. Like don't do something like her and Alexa battling with powers at least not now. Save that for a cinematic match

Wrote this on the Raw thread: Ok. Tv idea. Nikki is a new Superhero who saves the city from the evil Alexa causes yet they're still besties. Get on it Peacock! Whatever they do I hope they reunite Nikki & Alexa. I need my adorable bubbly Superhero/Demon Hellspawn tag team dammit!

Yeah, the whole Pirate Paul Burchill story is a weird one. For years, people thought it got canned because Vince didn’t know what Captain Jack Sparrow was, but Burchill himself claims Vince specifically pitched it to him as “Be Captain Jack Sparrow”. That, and a recent story of Ruby Riott claiming that Riott Squad was a thing specifically because Vince had seen Suicide Squad should put the “Vince don’t know pop culture” thing on the backburner for a little bit. I mean it won't ... and I'm sure he's not 100% tuned into pop culture (He's 75 and a workaholic obviously) but he does have like 6 grandkids... I'm sure he at least knows some of the stuff they're into. The Pirate thing was more likely dropped cause Paul was out for over a year with a knee injury and the writers apparently didn't like it to begin with... Personally I feel that the Pirate sequels being shit had something to do with it.

Personally I feel that the Pirate sequels being shit had something to do with it. Possible he got injured like a month before Dead man's chest came out. But I think getting injured for a year while still mostly setting up the gimmick had more to do with it. Since Jack Sparrow was still popular

Gonna need a WWE Elite figure with this attire ASAP! It'll go perfect with her Sanity attire figure.

One of two thoughts here:
1.) Vince and Bruce genuinely think this good get over with little girls, ala Bailey. Female Hulk Hogan (be yourself type). 2.) This is a setup for Alexa to "corrupt" Nikki Cross within vicinity, creating a devilish duo of females for a tagteam rehash.

It’s been too long since we’ve had a Hurricane-esque gimmick, and Nikki can make it work if they let her go all in.

Not going to lie... seeing the title of this thread, I thought they made fun of her ass. But umm, explain? She’s just dressed as a superhero now. On the plus side, it meant that new theme of hers that everyone hated got changed. She needs a really cheesy superhero name. Nitro Nikki? Glasgow Girl? Either way, I want the Hurricane to come back!

Well at least the new outfit highlights the fact she got herself into great f***ing shape.

I mean sure? I loved Hurricane back in the day and Nikki is a great talent so I have no doubt she can make this work. Especially if it was her idea.

I really enjoyed her explanation on Raw Talk. She knows she can't fly, she knows she doesn't actually have superpowers, but she puts on the costume and she feels like she can do anything. Wholesome as hell and she comes off incredibly genuine with it.
It's Raw Talk, though, so now I'm expecting her to blow up the Lilly doll with literal heat vision or something in a couple weeks.
