Nikki Storm is able to dive head-first back into the independent wrestling scene, including appearing for promotions apart from PROGRESS Wrestling.
Storm and her husband Big Damo purchased PROGRESS Wrestling in 2026 shortly after Storm was released from WWE alongside The Wyatt Sicks.
This week, Storm’s non-compete clause with WWE expired, and she or he appeared as an ally of Damo at the most recent event for Ireland’s OTT Wrestling.
Storm can be a part of this weekend’s PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 106: Scorchio event in London, where she is going to face Session Moth Martina.
The previous RAW Women’s Champion didn’t have a match for over a yr before her release from WWE. Her final bout for WWE was in December 2024.
