Nikki Cross is back on WWE RAW.
For the first time since February, Cross competed in a match on the red brand, but it wasn’t a typical bout.
After WWE RAW Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair confronted each other, Cross’ interjection set up a Beat The Clock Challenge. “The Nightmare” was given two minutes to beat Cross on Monday night, and she couldn’t do it.

In the two-minute match, she held her own against Ripley as the seconds ticked away. With the end of the match rapidly approaching, Ripley lost control of her temper when she stomped Cross in the corner. The few seconds that it took for the referee to pull Ripley away made the difference, as the time limit expired. As a result, Cross won the match, so she can claim a victory over the RAW Women’s Champion.
WINNER!!!
