Step aside, folks, and make room for the woman who’s pinning down both wrestling opponents and academic challenges with equal flair! That’s right, Nikki Cross, known for her wild antics in WWE’s SAnitY and her stint as almost a superhero, has now tossed her hat into the academic ring—and boy, does it fit!
Fresh from Instagram, Nikki has graced us with snapshots of her graduation, proudly donning her cap and gown while clutching her hard-earned master’s degree diploma in History from the prestigious University of Edinburgh. Holding onto that scroll like it’s a championship belt, Nikki’s grin is as wide as when she used to clobber folks with a folding chair. “Haha really holding that scroll tight in the second picture, I mean knowledge is power,” she writes. Talk about a power move!
But wait, there’s more! Not content with mastering history, Nikki is already plotting her next big move—a Ph.D.! Set to wrap up by 2029, she’s gearing up to become Dr. Nikki Cross. Can you imagine? Monday Night Raw could soon be featuring a segment called “History Lessons with Dr. Cross.”
With a resume that boasts titles like the WWE RAW Women’s Champion and the retiree of the WWE 24/7 Championship (which she famously trashed as part of her exit strategy), Nikki is proving you can be both a titan in the ring and a titan of textbooks. From Glasgow to Edinburgh and from the ring to the archives, Nikki is knocking out milestones like they’re opponents on WrestleMania.
As she juggles a box of Kleenex for the tears and a steaming cup of coffee, one thing’s clear: this WWE superstar is showing the world that brains and brawn are a tag team worth betting on. So, let’s raise our foam fingers to Nikki Cross, soon to be Dr. Cross, as she lays the smackdown on historical ignorance one thesis at a time. In Nikki’s world, the bell never rings—it just signals the next round of challenges!
