Nikki Cross Announced For PROGRESS Wrestling Following WWE Exit

Former WWE Women’s Champion Nikki Cross will be returning to the UK as part of an upcoming show for PROGRESS Wrestling.

Competing under the name Nikki Storm, the former WWE star will be in action at the Scorchio event at the Electric Ballroom in Camden on Sunday, July 26. Storm’s opponent has not been announced at this time. This is the first show Storm has been announced for since her WWE departure earlier in the year.

Cross and the rest of The Wyatt Sicks were part of the post-WrestleMania releases on April 24. Cross’ final televised match took place in September 2024, when she and the rest of The Wyatt Sicks took part in a street fight against American Made. Cross competed in a handful of house show matches in late 2024. Along with capturing the Women’s Championship while under her Nikki A.S.H. persona, Cross was also a multi-time Women’s Tag Team Champion.

The Faction has also been announced to appear at WrestleCon in Minneapolis in late July and early August.
