Three weeks removed from Nikki Cross’ shocking (and unsolicited) assist of Ruby Riot against The Iconic Duo, Riot doesn’t seem to have any better understanding of what motivated the unpredictable SAnitY member to align herself with Riot in the first place.

Yet, with Peyton Royce & Billie Kay having challenged Riot & Cross to a rematch, this much is clear: Riot still doesn’t consider Cross a friend. In fact, in responding to The Iconic Duo’s challenge, Riot went so far as to warn Cross to stay out her way as she tries to take care of the duo that has tormented her for weeks.

Whether it’s pride, stubbornness or just plain smart logic that’s driving Riot’s attitude toward Cross, there’s no telling whether Riot’s words will have much of an effect on the unstable Superstar. Will Cross heed Riot’s wishes and steer clear of the action? Find out tonight, exclusively on WWE Network.
