WWE wrestler Nikki Cross has officially obtained her master's degree.

In a tweet on Monday, Cross shared photos of her graduation ceremony at the University of Edinburgh. Cross thanked her mother and husband (wrestler Big Damo) for attending the ceremony with her.

Cross attended the master's program remotely while wrestling for WWE. Her degree is in history, and she wrote her dissertation on women's wrestling. She submitted the dissertation this May and received an A for it.

Cross has indicated that she'll be continuing her education and going for her doctorate. Cross tweeted in March that she wouldn't be taking any time off from WWE if she chooses to pursue her PHD.

On Raw last week, Cross was part of a tag team turmoil match to decide the next challengers for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles. Cross wanted to team with Candice LeRae in the match, but LeRae had already promised to team with Indi Hartwell. Cross instead teamed with Emma. Cross was too focused on LeRae during the match and left Emma on her own, which caused them to be eliminated by Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green.

Deville & Green won the turmoil match and will be challenging Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan for the Women's Tag Team titles.
