Nikki Storm

[4.0] "Four for effort, Never cared for her but I think her work with Alexa is her best work of her WWE career. Her wrestling didnt blew me away with anything. I did not the work she did with the crazed gimmick she had with Sanity and Wyatt 6. For couple months heel Lyra did more than Nikki did in both her runs with that gimmick. I admit I think Nikki ASH was underrated and they could've done more, It just didnt land with majority of the fanbase. And I think they could've absolutely had a killer feud with her and Dana for the 24/7 title before retiring it, they could've given the title it's worth one last time before retiring it (and especially the way they did, it not landing in the trash can was a sign)."

[3.0] "Though many of my issues I do have are with her booking, I am trying to avoid letting that influence her score too much however she struggled at getting the fans behind many of her gimmicks and never felt like she would be the biggest star in WWE. I do enjoy many of her matches such as her matches with Kana/Asuka however she often doesn't feel at the center of the great matches she takes part in. I do believe a majority of this rating is due to her being put in positions where she was not able to succeed by booking and I will be looking forward to her new steps as co-owner of Progress and her work there to form a new opinion."

[4.0] "They tried everything with this girl to get her over and make her look like a threat. They gave her the Sanity Gimmick then they did the Molly Holly Super hero gimmick then gave her "Sister Abigail" and nothing worked. Gave her MITB, Women's Championships, 24/7 Titles, Women's Tag Team Titles and it still didn't mean much and she was always so bland and meh. I will give it to her she tried and she gave it her all. I really thought back in NXT she was gonna be one of the ones who were the future of the Women's division"

[5.0] "I have no idea, what in the world happened to this girl. Had some good promise going for her, great indie matches and pretty good in the ring for sure, however come around 2019 -- a little before the superhero stuff came about (I think that came in 2021? Maybe? ) -- Around 2019 or so, she tried to show some "zaniness and craziness" in the ring and on the mic and it was a total bust and her character work was destined to fail/lose from there. They tried it again 5 or so years later and pegged Nikki Cross main eventing an episode of Raw in 2022 with a major heel turn that could do wonders for her career. But they gave up and backed out on that idea immediately. And I have no comment on the superhero stuff. They tried and tried, and this girl I'm sure is sweet and nice behind the scenes but, from a presentation standpoint -- Nikki Cross was bad in all of the elements of the wrestling besides beyond wrestling. Probably for the best, she went back to college."

[2.0] "I thought she was fine from what I first saw of her, but ever since she started the superhero gimmick, she's just been such a bore to watch. The superhero gimmick was beyond cringe. Putting the world title on her was a huge mistake, even if it was for 3 weeks. Her performances fall short of what you need to be a main eventer. I haven't seen a match of hers that impressed me in a very long time. Now? She's in a faction that she adds absolutely nothing to. Unless I see her on my screen, I'll forget that she's even with the company. That's how forgettable she is to me these days. '"

[9.0] "Nikki Cross is the goat. Character work is great she is captivating to watch. Great work with the Wyatt sicks, perfect as Abby the Witch. She is the most unsettling member. Her subtle gestures she does during the Wyatts promo are fantastic. Her vignette was horrifying."

[3.0] "Nikki cross is such a disappointment let me explain when she won the raw womwns championship i thought she would put so many good matches and she would finally prove her skills and talent to the wwe universe and yeah she won the title but she cant even hold it she lost to Charlotte really quick and the most terrible part is she was got the push by wwe rhat many wrestle dont get it but she still cant make it so that makes her terrible wrestler to me"

[9.0] "Nikki Cross is absolutely insane, one of the most captivating must see women on the roster that you simply cannot take your eyes off. Great as a part of Sanity, the Wyatt Sicks and most other factions/teams that she's been a part of, great to watch all round"

[8.0] "She's not my favorite character. She makes me feel a little bit of dislike because of what she did to Alexa, but I don't have a bad opinion of her. She dresses like a superhero, which is funny about her, and she attracts attention."

[6.0] "Nikki is very inconsistent. Sometimes she does well, some times she does awfully. Her mic skills are nothing worth praising. She is just there. I personally never expect much when she is involved, as at worst I will feel justified to do so, and pleasantly surprised at best."

[4.0] "I wasn't that interested in Nikki and I am not now even though she is in one of the best current factions in wrestling, the Wyatt Six. She is the least interesting member in my opinion. I am happy she found a character, instead of just walking and staring at the camera but I have to see her wrestle in the new character to get convinced she has something to show for."

[6.0] "Nikki is strong-willed, a conscientious worker and has the ability to play zany characters with a certain strength. She deserves a place on the map. Maybe not at the top, but a place nonetheless. I'm delighted to see her back with the Wyatt Six. That said, her in-ring abilities are nothing extraordinary and, while she's mastered the few moves in her movepool, she's sorely lacking in diversity and even in the days of her many matches against champion Bayley and her alliance with Alexa Bliss, all her matches looked the same. A character a little out of the ordinary, entertaining but far from unforgettable."

[6.0] "When she was just Nikki Cross the lunatic on NXT, she was great. I did not like Nikki ASH in any way shape or form. Her costume was atrocious, the promos worse, and the matches middling. It did nothing for her. Since then they sort of tried to bring back the crazy version but all of her momentum is gone. It's a lot like the Red Rooster with Terry Taylor."

[4.0] "Nikki Cross cant seem to keep a gimmick, she was on a roll with the Nikki A.S.H. gimmick before people got tired of repetitive booking, she is the type of wrestler that needs a good gimmick in order to be noticed because he in ring abilities are not great"

"I would actually jump up and down in excitement if I was told I would never see her ever again. She's dreadful. Her gimmick is complete shit. Oh wow so edgy and cool look at her pig ass she doesnt care about anything! OMg Haha #Weird #Crazy #Wacky! Omg! Did you see her stare into the camera for an entire match? How cool! Did you see her stare into the camera during backstage BS? So creative! Love this! More please! Fuck off. What the fuck is the point in a gimmick that has literally zero charisma by design? Its so stupid. Why would I want to see her on my screen? The way she acts in the ring is so cringeworthy too. I can't think of a single redeeming quality of Nikki Cross. I actually can't. Usually when there's a shitty wrestler I can think of something nice to say like 'Oh, at least they have this to make them more watchable' but no. There's actually nothing for Nikki Cross. She can't even WRESTLE. I get it, we love sports entertaining, but she also cant fucking ENTERTAIN. WHY IS SHE HERE? I actually don't know. It's like Triple H hit someone with his car while driving late at night and it was Nikki Cross' dad and to keep her from pressing charges he gave her a job. Gotta be that."

[10.0] "regardless of how people feel about the superhero gimmick, Nikki Cross has made the most out of everything she's ever done. she's great as a wild card in the ring and as a character. not a classic Ric Flair style worker, but still great in her own way. she was consistently well-liked before the superhero gimmick and people are putting way too much stock in to that one part of her career. 10/10 easy for me, one of my favorite women ever in wrestling."

[4.0] "lost in the shuffle shouldnt even apply here. I just dont think shes very good. the stuff with sanity was decent, but thats just about as over as she got. Nikki ash was one of the worst gimmicks i have ever seen in professional wrestling though, which may have influenced my rating here."

[3.0] "Don't see it with her. The crazy gimmick is beyond cringe and that superhero gimmick even worse. Despite her awful promos and cringe character work she is at least a solid hand in the ring, better than some of the women of today."

[7.0] "Cross is a good in ring wrestler with a gimmick that can be good. Her wrestling is good and her crazy sanity gimmick was good. Unfortunately, since then her Nikki ASH gimmick and whatever she is doing now with Candice LeRae has been just bad. She has a good gimmick but her new gimmicks has not worked for her."

[5.0] "Generic wrestler, there has no background or any stories involves her since thw First Time Bliss was possessed by Wiatt. **1/2"

[5.0] "Her in ring work is adequate but far from spectacular, or even memorable. I guess running up while screaming counts as a thing. Promos generally involve her standing there bug-eyed while smiling and nodding vigorously like that's edgy, but I actually prefer this to hearing her speak. She can stay out of the main storylines and I'm good with that."

[7.0] "Glad she is back to her old character even if the misguided superhero heel gimmick had so much untapped and wasted potential. Her beating down Mighty Molly at the rumble was probably the highlight of the whole PPV!"

[9.0] "The Nikki ASH character is an example of wasted potential. Hopefully now that she's back as Nikki Cross, she can have a strong run with the gimmick and after awhile switch back to Nikki ASH if she wants. It worked for Gregory Helms and The Hurricane!"

[1.0] "Possibly the worst regular weekly worker in the US today. Mic work is insufferable. In ring she is clunky, awkward and delivers slow unconvincing strikes. Tough to watch. Was much better served by the deranged gimmick which at least played to her weaknesses. the move to the super hero thing was even worse somehow. the championship run was weak. this might be the worst attempted push in the womens division in wwe history."

[3.0] "She got so bad recently since becoming Nikki ASH. She is supposed to be a comedy act, but she's never been funny. In the ring she is okay and can play the crazy character really good. Her reign with Alexa Bliss was generic at best and boring at worst"

[4.0] "I didn't like the Nikki Cross version, nor the Nikki ASH version. Average ring skill, poor microphone skills, low charisma. Unfortunately, she is the weakest link of the current WWE women."

[7.0] "I used to really enjoy her as Nikki Storm and I have enjoyed some of her stuff in WWE but she has stepped down a bit in recent months."

[7.0] "Nikki ASH is far from a bad wrestler, but her new superhero gimmick is a disaster, hope Nikki Cross comes back soon"

[6.0] "Nikki is an amazing performer and I'd say I enjoy her more than most people, but her current superhero gimmick is definitely holding her back and I think she's due for a character change."

[6.0] "I was a fan of Nikki Cross but Nikki ASH has also had her moments of entertainment. She always seems to give it her all in these characters. Some of them can be laughable on paper, like ASH but she is able to make it work to a certain degree. She's a solid supporting player in the division. She's charismatic and, when given the right material, can cut a solid promo. Not great in the ring though as she struggles to have anything above average. The characters also have a shelf life before they get tiring. Some of these things aren't her fault but there's only so much she can do."

[5.0] "Complete missed opportunity throughout her career. Nikki ASH, which was HER idea by the way, was a big miss. The fans completely lost all interest in her as WWE hotshotted her booking. Her booking probably has done more damage than anything else. Her work in NXT is her best."

[4.0] "I loved her as Nikki Cross in Sanity, she was unique, and the crazy unhinged energy she brought to NXT was great. Miss me with this superhero nonsense."

[4.0] "Nikki is a very ordinary wrestler. His run at nxt is okay but in the Main-Roster it's horrible. His In-Ring has gone downhill since leaving NXT."

[8.0] "I think the level to which Nikki has made her current gimmick work, which has been poorly promoted and unsupported by merchandise, speaks so how good she is. She can wrestle well, she can handle a promo, I really enjoyed Nikki Cross and await the return."

[6.0] "Was fun and interesting back in NXT and her pre-NXT days as Nikki Storm. Main roster WWE hasn't been good for her, bad gimmicks, making her cut awful promos, exposing her weaknesses etc. This superhero gimmick has been quite bad too. She's good in-ring like she's always been, but it's been very cringe, and the gimmick needs changing."

[5.0] "I hate to rate Nikki this low, but I really cannot say I am a true fan at the moment. Aside from EY, she was the heart and soul of Sanity. She was crazy, insane, and a great addition to one of the more underrated groups in NXT. Since her arrival on the main roster, her character has gradually diminished. She became a little more 'normal' when she was teaming with Bliss, and now she looks ridiculous in the super hero deal. I get this was her idea and it is meant to attract children, but it is so silly and outlandish from her initial character, it's hard to take her serious. She's always had talent in the ring. However, not quite a main event player for the women's division, especially since her arrival on Raw / SmackDown."

[6.0] "Nikki Cross was great as a part of Sanity. Unfortunately the group was destroyed on the main roster. Really good iteration of the "crazy girl" character. I haven't really liked her on the main roster. The stuff with Alexa Bliss and now the ASH stuff is not it. In the ring she's small but has fire and is charismatic, but I don't think she's been used well."

[8.0] "Nikki is criminally underrated. She is a fantastic wrestler but can't often show it, especially on main roster WWE. Her work in NXT was fantastic and her character work was good as well. Her main roster run started terribly and she was kind of forced to adapt, and kudos to her, it worked. She became a basic white- meat babyface and got over working alongside Alexa Bliss. Her most recent super hero gimmick has exposed her limitations as a promo, but her work in the ring is still respectable so long as her opponent can carey some of the weight. Highly underrated and over hated as well."

[4.0] "She is okay in the ring, but her mic skills are awful. Plus, her gimmicks have been pretty bad, in my opinion."

[2.0] "One of the worst gimmicks in recent times, it's good for kids but that's the only good thing you can say about it. She stole the spotlight from more deserving stars at MITB, and her first match after becoming champion she loses and says "well I almost won" after the match."

[6.0] "She was way better before. Right now she is a 3 before she was like a 7. 5. So I'm going to give a 6 just to not to be mean"

[3.0] "I don't know what Nikki is doing most of the time, her strikes never land and her moves are never executed well. Her character work is meh. I get that's she's portraying a pyscho but the whole thing is cringe to me."

[4.0] "She annoys me in everything she does. None of it looks good. Her crazy persona was always so awkward. One of my least favorite wrestlers ever."

[5.0] "She is a decent worker, but no more than that, she has had a couple of good matches and little more than that."

[3.0] "Nikki Cross is truly a bad wrestler. In Sanity, I didn't liked her, she was the other member who I didn't care when I saw some Sanity stuff. Then in the main roster, she is incredibly awful. No charisma, horrible mic skills ( and that is not because of her accent because I love Drew's mic skill ), poor in ring. She deserve to be lower midcarder and not higher."

[8.0] "A very good wrestler who is terrific in the ring when given the chance, and good on the mic. It's unfortunate that she's been typecast on the main roster, but she was great on the indies and had some great matches in NXT."

[6.0] "Great potential that has hardly been fully utilized. She had something with the Sanity Nikki, but they dropped that like a bad habit when Vince woke up one day & just felt like it. I would have no issue if it came to a logical end, but they just decided it wasn't a thing anymore. I have no doubt that she'll just be a regular girl soon the way Mickie James just stoped being a stalker one day. The pairing with Alexa is slowly winning me over, but it still blossomed from no where & should have been better developed."

[10.0] "Nikki Cross was very gifted since before she came to WWE. She has the ability to look dangerous and wild despite her rather petite height. She has very good mic skills and her character is one of the most unique in WWE right now. The only flaw is that she tends to exaggerate her acting and can sometimes come across as comical instead of scary. Nonetheless she remains one of the best workers in the company right now, and it's sad Vince threw her aside upon ascending to the main roster, she is championship material."

[8.0] "Cross is already miles ahead of the vast majority of women on the main roster. She is one of the few women superstars who can have matches with flow and little stuttering. She has energy and speed that enable her to work with capable opponents. She has already shown an ability to play different characters and her relationship with Alexa is good viewing. Cross will get to the top very quickly and will put to shame the less natural wrestlers. Fans of women's wrestling should embrace her and get behind someone who could be a real revolutionary."

[8.0] "Amazing Crazy Psychotic Heel persona but face nicki doesn? t make sense and a decent moveset and great with the sanity stable"
