It appears that Nikki Cross' time in WWE has come to an end, and she's unfortunately not the only one.
The former Women's Champion took to social media Friday afternoon to announce that she has departed the company after spending the past decade in WWE.
Cross had spent the better part of the past two years as a member of the Wyatt Sicks on SmackDown, but will soon be writing the next chapter of her professional wrestling career. A chapter that Nikki says she's excited to explore.
Goodbye and Thank you WWE

Talent releases typically take place shortly after WrestleMania each year and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is reporting that this year is no different. An unknown number of superstars are in the process of being released from their contracts or will not have their deals with the company renewed.
Ross Sapp is reporting that Zoey Stark and Alba Fyre are also departing the company. Stark has been out of action for close to a year after she tore her ACL and MCL in a match last May, but she had recently been cleared for her return.
Alba Fyre has been one of the core members of Chelsea Green's Secret Hervice since March of last year. The former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion joined up with Chelsea and Piper Niven after her former tag partner, Isla Dawn, was released from WWE.
It's unclear how many more members of the locker room are set to be released. We wish all those impacted by this recent round of cuts the very best in their future endeavors. We'll continue to keep you updated on any new developments throughout the night.
