She has been the most incredible friend to me. Such a beautiful soul! So happy for her and all her success. thank you so much Tay for always being there. Have an amazing day, love, you deserve it 🎊🎊🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🥳🥳🎈🎈🎁🎁 pic.twitter.com/NY8WOvjVT5— Nikki Cross (@NikkiCrossWWE) June 9, 2021
One of those superstars was Nikki Cross. Cross wrote a heartfelt message for her former colleague saying, “She has been the most incredible friend to me. Such a beautiful soul! So happy for her and all her success. Thank you so much, Tay, for always being there. Have an amazing day, love, you deserve it.”
Conti herself posted a photograph on Instagram for her birthday with a caption showcasing her gratefulness. “Thank God for your love and compassion, I’m nobody without your blessings father.” To top it off, a day before her birthday she wrestled on AEW Dark, beating Natalia Markova.
Killing it at 24, the future is promising for Conti, especially if she continues to develop throughout her career. One wouldn’t be surprised if she holds the AEW Women’s Championship multiple times before she turns 30.
Is Nikki getting a push?

Nikki Cross has gone from being Alexa Bliss‘ underling to beating the likes of Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair on Raw. Her current run involves wins over the Raw Women’s Champion, the #1 contender, and a win over both of them simultaneously in a tag team match.
It’s one thing that Ripley and Flair’s rivalry gave Cross a fluke win, but three wins over Raw’s alpha females deserve a future title shot. Cross doesn’t have a deep history with Flair or Ripley, and she’s never faced the latter in NXT either. This means not only is she a fresh challenger but an exciting one.

Cross is one of WWE’s most exciting characters and she’s even held tag team gold. There was a time the likes of Asuka and Nia Jax feared her in NXT, but her momentum has cooled off by quite a margin. If WWE is thinking of putting Cross in a championship program, she’d be a great filler feud till SummerSlam.
