Following her WWE release as part of the post-WrestleMania 42 cuts, Nikki Cross has filed two new trademarks. The Wyatt Sicks member submitted paperwork on April 28, 2026 for both “Nikki Storm” and “Best In The Galaxy.”
The trademarks cover apparel — including shirts, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, hats, bandanas, and socks — as well as wrestling-related entertainment services. The “Nikki Storm” filing additionally covers printed comic books and graphic novels. The entertainment services described include providing wrestling news online, wrestling exhibits and performances, televised and live appearances, and online interviews.
Cross used the Nikki Storm name on the independent scene before signing with WWE in 2016.
Following her release, longtime tag team partner Alexa Bliss responded emotionally on social media: “Bliss cross forever [black heart] thank you [Nikki Cross] for all of the amazing times, fun car rides, laughs & for being Hendrix’s backstage bestie [black heart] love you Nikki – can’t wait to see what’s next.”
