Nikki Cross has earned her rematch.
On SmackDown, Nikki Cross defeated her best friend and tag team partner Alexa Bliss to earn a shot at Bayley and the SmackDown Women's Title on next Friday's SmackDown. Cross picked up the victory with a cradle after it looked like she might not be able to continue due to her injured ribs.
The match was set-up by Bayley, who said Cross needed to earn a SmackDown Women's Title rematch by defeating her best friend Bliss after Cross campaigned for a rematch due to Bayley cheating at the Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
