Glencross received a tryout with WWE in London on the autumn of 2015, and in April 2016, she was announced as one of ten signees that had begun training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. She debuted for WWE NXT on April 22 during a live event. In August, it was announced during a Facebook live video that she would be competing under the new ring name Nikki Cross. Under the ring name Nikki Glencross, she made her first televised appearance and in–ring debut on the August 17 episode of NXT, where she competed in a six-woman tag team match along with Carmella, and Liv Morgan, in which they defeated Daria Berenato, Mandy Rose, and Alexa Bliss.

On the October 12 episode of NXT, Cross returned as a heel while she was introduced as part of the debuting stable, SAnitY, along with Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young, and Sawyer Fulton (whom was later replaced by Killian Dain), she and Young would accompany Fulton and Wolfe for their winning effort against Bobby Roode and Tye Dillinger in the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. One week later, Cross scored her first televised singles victory over Danielle Kamela. However, the decision was reversed when Cross continued to attack Kamela after the match. On the January 11, 2017 episode of NXT, Cross came to the aid of NXT Women's Champion Asuka, who was being attacked by Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, before turning on Asuka. As a result, Cross, Royce and Kay were placed in a four-way match at the NXT TakeOver: San Antonio event, which Cross failed to win.
