![]() ![]() For myself, right off the bat, speaking about this on ‘Raw Talk’. You don’t need to be a superhero to accomplish great things, kind of a thing?Ī: Yeah. Q: I’ve thought of it as you put your mind to it, you can do it. I think to win that Money in the Bank contract, I think that adds to even more to this positive and wonderful message that we’re trying to send. I feel like it’s such a positive message. And there’s this idea that you put on the mask and cape and you feel like you can try anything. With this character and with Nikki Almost a Superhero, I think this is really a chance to connect and reach out to the audience and show them and teach them and kind of present something that’s inspirational, is positive and something it can really get behind and realize that everyone has something super about them. For me, a lot’s changed, the same desire to win, the same spirit to win like all of that is still the same. An even though that was 2019, I posted about it on social media. We have the Money in the Bank ladder match on Sunday and this is the second Money in the Bank ladder match I’ve done. It would mean the galaxy or the universe. ![]() Q: What would it mean to win Money in the Bank and put the rocket strap on you and this character?Ī: It would mean the absolute world. ![]() She may not be able to literally fly, but wants to share the reason for her new look and inspiration with the whole #RawTalk on /DWdgM854w2- WWE June 22, 2021 What I’m trying to say Joe is there weren’t nerves because of how much I believed in the idea. I knew that I was going to be able to explain it. I knew how much I believed in it and I knew my energy and enthusiasm. So for me, one thousand percent, I knew it was gonna work. I put so much time into this, into building this idea. Q: How nerve-racking was presenting it to WWE after you guys put a lot of time and effort into the idea? Not every idea that’s pitched gets the green light?Ī: I believe in the idea. To me, this was kind of a natural evolution. That represents my past as Nikki Storm on the independent scene before coming to WWE and I always had lightning, sparks on my gear and then the butterfly represents the metamorphosis, just because it’s been just a wonderful few years with WWE and trying these different things and some different aspects of the personality. I’m so proud of everything and excited about how it came to life, for me, even the lightning bolt which is on the costume. For me, that was kind of how everything came together. This is like a six-month labor of love and a love letter to my childhood, 90’s cartoons. We’ve been thinking about this since the Royal Rumble. I was always a huge fan of The Hurricane in WWE. I always loved superheroes and I loved watching the television shows and the movies. So I was always into that, growing up and watching the Marvel and the DC movies, The Avengers, everything in the MCU, DC and they had the Justice League. If I wasn’t watching WWE I would be watching X-Men and they had this amazing theme music (Sings X-Men theme music). ![]() Q: What was the spark that made you sit down and start coming up with this superhero character and where did that start?Ī: As a child, I was always watching the X-Men cartoons, the Spiderman cartoons. If she is able to beat Liv Morgan, Natalya, Tamina, Naomi, Zelina Vega, Alexa Bliss and Asuka she’ll earn a contract for a championship match anytime, anywhere.īefore the big match, Cross took time for some Q&A with The Post’s Joseph Staszewski.
