Summary

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella both shared public reactions after Nikki Cross' WWE departure became official this week.

Cross was part of the latest round of WWE exits announced on April 24. That followed the news that Nikki Cross was leaving WWE after a decade with the company, closing the book on a run that included NXT, the main roster, and multiple character changes.

Social media reactions

Bliss reflected on their history together and thanked Cross for the time they spent on the road and backstage. Nikki Bella also posted her support, saying she was heartbroken to see Cross go and praising the energy she brought into the room.

Cross later answered Bella's message and thanked both Bella twins, writing that she was grateful for the time they shared in the locker room and appreciative of what Brie and Nikki did for women's wrestling.

What Nikki Cross' exit means for WWE

Cross leaving WWE removes another experienced name from the women's division, especially someone who had filled several different roles across her run. Even without an immediate creative follow-up attached to these posts, the reactions from Bliss and Bella show that Cross' departure landed as a meaningful one inside WWE's locker room.
