Ex-WWE Star Announced For Massive Debut
A former WWE talent is set to make their debut with a new wrestling promotion.
Nikki Cross, real name Nicola Glencross, is close to starting a new chapter and, as a result, has also done away with her WWE name and has repackaged herself as Nikki Storm.
The 37-year-old recently shared a fresh look on Twitter as she prepared for her upcoming TV appearances.
She’s (almost) back……..

Storm was one of the 20+ released from the Stamford promotion during the post-WrestleMania 42 release. Her real-life partner, who performed under the name Killian Dane, was let go from the company in June 2021.
Despite her departure, things have looked up for Storm, who recently purchased PROGRESS Wrestling, a British wrestling promotion.

At the time of her WWE release, Storm was part of The Wyatt Sicks faction. While she interfered in some matches, the British wrestler was not excessively used as a singles or tag team wrestler on the main roster.
In fact, her last match was during the 2024 Live Holiday Tour, where she teamed up with the Sicks to take on The Final Testament quartet of Akam, Rezar, Karrion Kross, and Scarlett.
