Nikki Cross hasn’t competed on WWE TV since early March and isn’t currently booked on the WrestleMania 39 card. However, contrary to a rumor started on Twitter, she’s not in the process of leaving the company. The former Raw Women’s Champion addressed a tweet on Monday claiming that she was leaving the promotion in order to pursue a Ph.D. Cross noted that she’s in the process of earning her Master’s Degree, and that even if she chose to pursue a Ph.D. it wouldn’t require her to leave WWE.

“Hello. I hope you are well. This (the claim_ is not true. This is the first time I have ever heard about this. Pretty sure I’m a reliable source. If I choose to pursue a Ph.D. after my completing my masters in May, I wouldn’t take time off wrestling. I would do both. Just to clarify.”
Cross’ accomplishments include a run as Raw Women’s Champion, three reigns as a WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Alexa Bliss & Rhea Ripley, a Women’s Money in the Bank winner and an 11-time 24/7 Champion. The last of those reigns resulted in the title being retired after she dropped it in the trash.
