Nikki Cross, Zoey Stark & Alba Fyre Cut By WWE

WWE exits in the aftermath of WrestleMania 42 have begun and the company has so far cut Nikki Cross, Zoey Stark, and Alba Fyre.

Nikki Cross announced her WWE departure, tweeting:

"Goodbye and Thank you WWE. I'm really excited for whatever my next chapter will hold. Thank you all for the continued love and support. Special thank you to Robbie Brookside and William Regal for helping this dream come true. Thank you to the wrestlers, coaches, producers and all the backstage crew who make all this possible. To the amazing girls in locker room (heart)."

Fightful Select has reported that Zoey Stark and Alba Fyre have also been let go by WWE.

Nikki Cross had been a part of WWE since 2016, initially debuting as part of SAnitY in NXT. Upon moving to the main roster, Cross would team with Alexa Bliss between 2018 and 2020, and she would become Nikki ASH in 2021, an Almost a Superhero gimmick, which she utilised until October 2022 when she returned to being Nikki Cross. Since the summer of 2024, Cross had been a part of the Wyatt Sicks.

She ends her 10-year WWE run as a one-time Raw Women's Champion and three-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, having held the belts twice with Alexa Bliss and once with Rhea Ripley. She was also an 11-time and the final 24/7 Champion.

Zoey Stark signed with WWE in 2021. She had been out of action since tearing her ACL, MCL and meniscus on the May 19, 2025 episode of Raw, although Fightful noted she was recently cleared for a WWE return. Stark ends her WWE run as a one-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion with Io Shirai (IYO SKY).

After competing in the inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017, Alba Fyre joined WWE in 2019 under her original ring name of Kay Lee Ray. Kay Lee Ray would be featured on NXT UK and she quickly won the NXT UK Women's Championship, holding the title for close to two years from August 2019 to June 2021. Kay Lee Ray would head to the United States in August 2021 and she would be renamed Alba Fyre in April 2022.

Fyre would primarily team with Isla Dawn as The Unholy Union and they had reigns as NXT Women's Tag Team Champions and WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Following Isla Dawn's release in February 2025, Alba Fyre aligned with Chelsea Green and she and Piper Niven were part of Green's Secret Hervice until Fyre's WWE departure.
