You all know by now that last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW opened up with a historic announcement from Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Vince McMahon.
All of RAW’s men, and women from both SmackDown Live and the red brand were on the entrance ramp to receive the news. After some brief comments from both “The Game” and Vince, Stephanie McMahon announced that the WWE will be holding its first ever all-female pay-per-view (PPV) in October called “Evolution.”
Some fans on social media noticed that NXT star Nikki Cross was on the ramp. This brought up some speculation as to whether or not she’s now an official member of the WWE’s main roster. It turns out Cross has actually been traveling with the SmackDown Live crew this past weekend working live events in Springfield, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri. She was working with Asuka and Naomi in Tag Team matches:

Due to the fact that all RAW and SmackDown female competitors were required to be on last night’s show for the announcement of “Evolution,” Cross was a part of the announcement since she was traveling with SmackDown Live. There’s currently no news on if Cross is an official member of the SmackDown Live main roster, but we’ll keep you updated.
