Apparently the point of this match was just to show that Nikki Cross is a crazy person. She gesticulated constantly during the match and barely sold the one move Danielle did (a vertical suplex). I think Nikki can have better matches than this. I&#8217;m not too into the crazy, no-selling thing. It&#8217;s a little over the top right now (and by that I mean I feel Nikki is overacting).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nShinsuke Nakamura heads to the ring.
