"One of the biggest ribs in the history of professional wrestling" - WWE is punishing top superstar, believes veteran
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo believes WWE is punishing former RAW Women's Champion Nikki Cross.
The 34-year-old joined the Stamford-based company in 2016. Two years later, she made her main roster debut. She has since won the RAW Women's Championship, the 24/7 Title, and the Women's Tag Team Championship. Cross also won the 2021 Women's Money in the Bank contract. However, the RAW star has not been booked in any significant storyline lately.
Speaking on his The Brand podcast, Russo claimed WWE was punishing Cross for complaining about her booking.
"This is getting up there I think to one of the biggest ribs in the history of professional wrestling, Nikki Cross. Bro, you know Nikki was complaining about not being on TV, not doing anything with my character, said something to the wrong person. So, now Stevie they fly her to every freaking RAW to just walk around like a zombie and nobody paying attention. This has to be the biggest rib in history," he said. [From 0:00 - 0:33]
