According to PWInsider, WWE Officials backstage at Royal Rumble 2019 were very impressed by the pop Nikki Cross got when she entered the Women’s Royal Rumble 2019 match.

This could mean big things for Nikki as current SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka also received her recent big push due to the crowd reacting big time to her during the segment where Becky Lynch was choosing her Survivor Series 2018 replacement.
