Nikki Storm is heading to Canada. Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has announced that Storm will appear at the MLP Mayhem TV tapings, scheduled for August 7 and August 8, marking her debut for the promotion.
Storm, best known to WWE fans as Nikki Cross during her run with the company, has remained active on the independent scene since her WWE departure. She is also a co-owner of PROGRESS Wrestling in the UK, giving her a significant footprint in the independent wrestling world beyond just competing.
The MLP Mayhem tapings represent a notable booking for both sides. For Storm, it’s another opportunity to expand her presence across the independent landscape outside of PROGRESS. For Maple Leaf Pro, landing a talent with Storm’s name recognition and in-ring track record is a meaningful get — she brings legitimate credibility built over years working at the highest level of the business.
No additional match details or opponents have been announced for Storm’s appearances at the tapings, but the news alone is enough to generate interest heading into August. With two nights of tapings on the books, there’s plenty of opportunity for the promotion to build around her involvement in whatever capacity they see fit.
Fans looking to catch Storm live will want to keep an eye on MLP’s announcements as August approaches and more details around the Mayhem tapings are released.
