"I'm hoping we can get a couple of years out of this" - Released WWE Superstar on Nikki Cross' new gimmick
Nikki Cross' new "almost a superhero" gimmick has been a talking point among WWE fans recently. The reactions from the WWE Universe are split, as some fans are excited to see Nikki Cross in this new gimmick while others believe it won't last long.
During a recent interview on the It's My House Podcast, recently released WWE Superstar and Nikki Cross' husband Killian Dain spoke about his wife's new gimmick. Dain mentioned that he's excited to see what happens next with it. He added that this character could become really popular with kids.
"She has taken it like a duck to water with this new gimmick, and I'm really excited to see what happens next with it because she's made this happen, and it started as a concept that took about six months to get fully organized and prepared and ready," said Dain. And as soon as it was ready, as soon as the gear was in the mail, it was go go go go and that's one of the coolest parts of it."
"I'm hoping we can get a couple of years out of this, because I think she's brilliant for kids," Dain added. "I grew up loving the cartoon era of WWE, because you know, those those colourful characters are what drew me in, and we need to think about the next generation, how do we get kids interested these days?"
