Following the news of her release, new trademark filings have emerged from a company with no prior filings named Best in the Galaxy Wrestling, LLC.

Nikki Cross Surprising WWE Release
Nikki Cross/Storm was one of the more surprising WWE releases, not just because of her status as a member of the Wyatt Sicks, but also her overall adaptablity as a utility player throughout the years in WWE.
Whether it be in SAnitY, teaming with Alexa Bliss, her time as Nikki ASH, or in the Wyatt Sicks, she had always made the best out of whatever she was given.
Assuming she wishes to continue in wrestling following her WWE departure, there’s no doubt that she’d be an asset to any company that picks her up.
