Nikki Cross announced for first match since WWE release
Nikki Cross will step back into the ring for her first match since being released by WWE. It will take place in July with details about her opponent unannounced.
PROGRESS Wrestling officially announced that Cross will compete at Chapter 196: Scorchio on July 26. Her opponent has not yet been announced.
“Nikki Storm (formerly Nikki Cross) will be competing at Chapter 196: Scorchio on Sunday 26th July! We are delighted to have Nikki wrestling and we will be announcing her opponent soon @EBallroomCamden,” tweeted PROGRESS Wrestling.
Cross was released along with the other members of the Wyatt Sicks in April. Not too long after she filed to trademark ‘Nikki Storm’ and ‘Best in the Galaxy’.
Cross signed with WWE in 2016 and was notably a part of Sanity on NXT. In 2024, she joined Wyatt Sicks as Abby The Witch, a character from Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse.
Her last WWE match was on the September 9, 2024 edition of Raw in a mixed street fight featuring Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan and Joe Gacy against The Creed Brothers, Chad Gable and Ivy Nile.
