Summary

Nikki Cross has filed for two new trademarks, "Nikki Storm" and "Best In The Galaxy," with the applications dated April 28.

The "Best In The Galaxy" filing covers merchandise including shirts, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, hats, bandanas, and socks. It also includes entertainment-related uses tied to wrestling performances, televised and live appearances, online interviews, and providing wrestling news and information online.

The "Nikki Storm" filing includes those same merchandise and entertainment categories, while also adding printed comic books and printed graphic novels.

What the Nikki Storm filing points to

The Nikki Storm name carries extra weight because it was the ring name Cross used before signing with WWE. That makes this filing a notable next step after she announced her WWE departure on April 24.

It does not confirm where Cross will wrestle next, but it does suggest she is protecting pieces of her post-WWE presentation early. Cross is also part of a broader stretch of recent trademark activity in wrestling, with WWE also moving to secure the EK Prosper name.
