Nikki Cross is truly the cutest thing

[@nickysixx5042]

Sam Montoya agreed

[@BrandonNinja]

Sam Montoya meh

[@savannahbailey4709]

Brandon Ninja BOI

[@savannahbailey4709]

Sam M I love her

[@packersfanforlife7903]

Jeffrey Kohut course she is, she is from Glasgow! Everyone there is a lunatic haha! At least that is how us English see it!

[@BretPangilinan28]

I can listen to her talk all day, that accent is so perfect!

[@liamevans9815]

It's lovely to see her out of character, knowing that these people we see on TV have those emotions about their dream job and the excitement knowing she was going to be with friends in SAnitY. It was also interesting to hear that they don't actually find out they're going to be in the group until after the Vignettes unless it's for a specific wrestler.

[@vobiscumsatanas1054]

she should be NXT champ when Asuka leaves, or at least feud with Peyton. Nikki is so hot, that sexy accent and everything about her.

[@jordanfrost25]

Scottish is strong with this one

[@Hey_its_nathan89]

she makes me feel things.

[@kelman727]

As is normal with people from Scotland...

[@KingBaldwinTheLeper]

"Pair-fect" I love it ..

[@Ngantha]

THICC

[@hjthesurvivor2757]

IF Asuka loses in NXT I would want Nikki to take the title off of her

[@M4DGESTY]

HJ theSurvivor Ember

[@DangerLevel10]

HJ theSurvivor I feel she's gonna fall to Ember Moon, that girls stunner is RAW. Nikki needs to do a Cross Suplex, a Cruciplex if you will.

[@swagex2128]

HJ theSurvivor totally

[@RedFlameKnight]

HJ theSurvivor agreed but id love Ember to take it tho

[@arsenal4739]

HJ theSurvivor no she ends up getting collarbone injury now she had to move to WWE afterwards.

[@ajitsrivastva3342]

great character , great gimmick , great wrestler .

[@scottelkinsmedia]

Oh my god. Her accent is the cutest ever! Her in ring ability is insane! They need to give her a push enough to be main roster.

[@kelman727]

scott elkins Glasgow? Cute...?!

[@fireheartgames]

@@kelman727 You obviously are not American. Too most Americans that would be a cute accent.

[@ronthehybrid]

Thick, beautiful, sexy accent, great acting, good wrestling, awesome sells. Nikki baby, you are the whole package. Loving the direction of the women's division.

[@oxdarkraixo4923]

When she said "six girls" it sounded like "sex girls" 😂

[@hytsugaya1000]

Nikki Cross is so damn fine

[@JohnnyZ716]

So love this girl. Her and Ember Moon are my favorites...

[@alwombat7]

Who would pay to see Nikki Cross vs Becky Lynch

[@isisjssiaahajaj2261]

It happened last night pretty good match wish Nikki had wom

[@DebtOfLife]

No no no nikki cross amd becky lynch tag team champs!!!!!

[@LaGranGaetani]

@@DebtOfLife agree

[@mistamaog]

I seem to have a thing for women with these types of accents

[@packersfanforlife7903]

iMiguelAOG the Scottish Accent on Women is normally quiet a sexy one if it is understandable! If you hear the real strong Scottish accents though it would scare anyone! Nikki however although from Glasgow, has a nice strongish but understandable accent

[@MissLovebat]

Does she remind anyone else of Daffney?

[@CrashHell]

She should be the one to beat Asuka. Give her the strap to help her for her main roster feud with the Lasskicker!

[@hiphopdagame]

man... imagine the overload of thick Accent promos...

[@darnee1458]

Could listen to her talk all day

[@swagex2128]

Nikki Cross is awesome!

[@ricemenarq6230]

*She looks like she could be King Ross' little sister...*

[@AakashBalajiCyborg]

That's Suzie , no joke

[@irishnewblood]

Well!! Isn't she just delightfull.

[@MaverickAC69]

I'm crushing HARD on this chick. Huge fan!

[@JoseGuido87]

Kenny being out soundly out Scottished #TornadoOfScottishCharm

[@alankingchiu]

[@snakester22x23]

Awesome interview makes me like her even more.

[@jkillas-channel3426]

She's cute.

[@johnbloodycena6943]

Wow I'm first now I want my cookie Is what all of the annoying people in a KZbin comment section But I still want my cookie

[@alankingchiu]

John BLOODY Cena Here is your cookie--> 💩

[@VendreadMike95]

Nice. 👍🏾

[@LegoMatt222]

Nikki Cross > Alexa Bliss.

[@M.Sleeze]

Yeah very underrated and way better in the ring

[@pierrelemagnifique205]

LegoMatt222 WHAT NO WAY ALEXA IS HOTTER

[@elliotterodriguez]

Nour Dahhan Bliss is over-overrated

[@jiopa]

Find someone better on the mic, then tell me she's overrated.

[@dvmeWCM]

Nour Dahhan This is a perfect example that shows that Alexa Bliss fans don't care about her in-ring abilities, but instead her looks. It's not about who's hotter nigga.

[@sentfromsaturn]

Damn,she’s got a strong Scottish accent!

[@BigMoneysLife]

I had the chance to see Nikki Cross in person back in June at an NXT show, she legit SCARES ME! She's a great athlete, don't get me wrong, but her character is frightening!

[@AzumiLP]

"Thank you very much for your time" Nikki that's what Kenny is supposed to say to you, you're not being interviewed for a job haha bless her

[@packersfanforlife7903]

The WWE has very beautiful Divas, but to be honest there is something about Nikki that has instantly made her my favourite just based on looks alone! When you see her character and how well it suits her and how well she acts makes me like her even more! I love the Scottish Accent on Women, espically as an English man, just something sexy about Northern England and Scottish accents I like! She seems genuine too and she has one lovely smile! She has a curvy body, a lovely smile, nice Scottish accent, is Brunette, she ticks everything I look in a woman physically for and she plays her character well which is what only a few startibg divas master straight off the bat! She also has the potential to go very far with her ability in the ring! Most of all she seems genuine and down to earth which beats everything else!

[@RandyHughesrapidrandy]

Biggest crush in WWE right now. Best women's character right now as well. It fits her perfectly.

[@RedFlameKnight]

Omg i love Nikki's accent 😍😍

[@valentinorimper5095]

She's so cute in this video...

[@brodericksutherland9471]

I really want an Ambrose/Cross pairing somewhere down the line. I think that would be entertaining.

[@caprisun6]

NOT ME no way, shes like on a whole other level.

[@brodericksutherland9471]

caprisun6 that's more to do with Ambrose's booking I would argue. If he did the same stuff as he did on CZW then it would be fun to see those two form a team.

[@thrillking7228]

NOT ME for that to work, they would have to change Ambrose's character from goofy crazy to badass crazy like stone cold or the sandman (ECW)

[@brodericksutherland9471]

Well he kinda had the Stone Cold gimmick of sorts when the Shield first split. And he had a mix of humour and bad-assery which was fucking awesome and that's why he became superover(side note: he should have become WWE Champ winning it from Rollins at that year's MITB PPV imo.) Now, they have booked him like absolute garbage for the kids since the brand split. If WWE managed to re-ignite his character and make Cross a little less crazy then they could have a psycho Bonnie and Clyde-esque storyline.

[@sonicsethwolf4483]

NOT ME you my friend are a genius

[@DeadmanInc336]

She is so cute and so charming. Definitely has that girl next door charm to her.

[@Hey_its_nathan89]

I would like to see Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Cross

[@jeremyhester2118]

Nikki Cross is beautiful

[@pjdbro]

The White Chocolate Cheesecake

[@blinkth3dog]

Sexy but not trashy, classy but crafty, adorable smile, scary scowls, she has it all. And that accent. 💜

[@johnquintmatt1986]

Nikki cross is the love of my life. She’ll find out sooner or later.

[@FoolishFlock]

Nikki looks like you'd see her moshing at a punk concert at .C.B.G.B.'s in NYC in the late 1970's but could also walk down the staircase of the TITANIC and go to a 1st. class fancy dinner party in the same breath! she's! THAT!! Dang! Pretty!!(ALL! Naturally!! As-Well! Big-Bonus! There! Not! alot of girls pull that off!)

[@treybrown1568]

Her accent 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@SandmanFightingSys]

God, I could listen to her talk all damn day

[@Pilaspilas911]

I can't wait until Nikki Cross moves to WWE or Smackdown. She's underutilized in NXT as a member of Sanity as she lost to what's her face champion just recently. Cross really needed that pushed to remain as dominant and crazy as she is portraying and I think NXT missed that chance with her. Alexa and Cross are my favorites in NXT even before Alexa became huge in WWE. Like Alex, Nikki can't really find her place there and I believe she would shine much better in WWE or Smackdown like Bliss currently is.

[@HulkVahkiin]

She's so cute and adorable...PLEASE MARRY ME!

[@kylewright3620]

That accent I swear to god..... I love it!!!

[@cccrudzav93]

just feel in love with Nikki cross

Great wrestler really reminds me of a prime Daffney but better.

She sounds like the female version of the Proclaimers.

[@benstewart4163]

She signed my phone case from me last night

[@timothythornton634]

Nikki Cross is so Cute

[@raveoreynolds6049]

Thanks for the great interview! Also nice job improving the segmentation from the Styles interview. 2 parts seems fair to me, it's three and beyond that get to be a bit much.

[@Horroroffandom]

Damn she's cute

[@michaelkoenig8409]

Now if only they'd use her more...she deserves it. She has so much potential and charisma

[@kelman727]

Funny how all the Yanks think the glesga patter is ‘cute.’

[@wolfmanscott69]

why doesn't triple h just keep some of the superstars on next and let it be more of what it's suppose to be. let it keep growing into this big entity.....??? I mean that's my 2 cents but it is what it is.

[@JayMuggah88]

Vince won't allow it, Although their are rumors of it having it's own Roster (where Superstars would return down there for Development)

[@jamietttt]

She is so lovely and cute.

[@MoeFoeJo]

I have the hugest crush on Nikki
