Nikki Cross is supposed to challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Sunday’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view. However, there is some uncertainty over Nikki’s availability, according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer.
Meltzer said on The Wrestling Observer Radio that he is putting an asterisk on the Bayley-Cross match due to backstage rumors regarding Cross, who did not appear at this week’s Friday Night Smackdown. According to Meltzer, Nikki was not in the backstage area either. Meltzer would say:
“If she’s there [at Clash of Champions], she’s there. I asked this morning [on Saturday] if she was going to be there, and nobody got back to me, which is your answer,”
