Former champion shares farewell message after WWE departure
Summary
– Nikki Cross posted a farewell message confirming her WWE departure
– Her message thanked WWE, the locker room, and key mentors like William Regal and Robbie Brookside
– Her exit adds more attention to growing speculation about WWE roster cuts
Nikki Cross has officially confirmed that her time with WWE has come to an end after sharing an emotional farewell message on social media.
Her post made it clear that this was not a temporary break or uncertain situation. Instead, it read as a full goodbye, with Cross thanking the company and the people who helped shape her career during her run.
She expressed gratitude to WWE, the locker room, and several key figures behind the scenes, including William Regal and Robbie Brookside, who played major roles in helping her join the company.
Cross also thanked the wrestlers, coaches, producers, and backstage staff, as well as the women in the locker room, for the people she worked alongside throughout her journey.
The timing of her message comes during growing speculation about possible WWE roster cuts. Reports earlier in the day suggested there was strong concern backstage among talent about potential releases, even before official announcements were made.
That concern gained more attention as Cross publicly posted her goodbye, adding real weight to the belief that wider roster changes may be happening.
WWE has not released an official statement regarding her departure, but her message strongly signals that her run with the company is over.
Cross joined WWE in 2016 and became one of the company’s most recognizable personalities. During her time there, she captured the RAW Women’s Championship and also held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Known for her unpredictable energy and unique character work, she remained a memorable presence across multiple WWE brands and storylines.
Her exit now stands as one of the most notable developments in what could be a much larger wave of roster movement inside WWE.
Goodbye and Thank you WWE
I’m really excited for whatever my next chapter will hold.
Thank you all for the continued love and support.
Special thank you to Robbie Brookside and William Regal for helping this dream come true.
Thank you to the wrestlers, coaches, producers…
