In a heartwarming display of camaraderie in professional wrestling, former WWE Superstar CJ Perry recently received a heartfelt message from Nikki Cross, the 34-year-old former RAW Women’s Champion, on social media. The emotional exchange comes at a difficult time for Perry, who recently shared an update about her 93-year-old grandfather’s struggle with cancer.
Perry, who was released from WWE in 2021 and subsequently joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2023, took to Twitter to share the somber news about her grandfather’s health. The 39-year-old wrestling star requested her fans to pray for her beloved grandfather, seeking support and comfort during this challenging period. Nikki Cross, who has been absent from WWE television for some time now, responded to Perry’s post with a touching message, offering her support and well-wishes.
The kind gesture from Cross is a testament to the strong bonds that exist between wrestlers, even those who are no longer affiliated with the same promotion. Despite Perry’s departure from WWE, she appears to maintain a healthy relationship with several superstars, including Cross, and has even congratulated wrestlers like Damian Priest on their achievements. Priests’ recent triumph at WrestleMania, where he won the World Heavyweight Championship, elicited a congratulatory post from Perry on Instagram, accompanied by pictures with various current and former WWE Superstars.
Perry’s current absence from AEW is attributed to a hand injury she sustained in December. Her future in professional wrestling remains uncertain, but the outpouring of support from her peers, including Cross, is a welcome respite during a difficult time. As Perry navigates her personal struggles, the heartfelt message from Cross serves as a poignant reminder of the strong camaraderie that exists within the wrestling community.
