10 WWE Superstars With Surprising Degrees

8. Nikki Cross - History

Nikki Cross, real name Nicola Glencross, is currently involved in a very confusing, very boring storyline with Alexa Bliss.

Before all this nonsense, she was a staple of NXT, both as part of Sanity and as a singles competitor who challenged for the NXT Women's Championship on multiple occasions.

Cross also spent some time on the independent circuit prior to her time in WWE. She competed under the name Nikki Storm for such promotions as Pro Wrestling: EVE, Shimmer, and Insane Championship Wrestling in her home nation of Scotland.

Before wrestling was even an option for Cross, she did what everyone who doesn't know what they want to do with their live does and studied History at university. I'm not projecting, you are.

Cross didn't stray far from home to complete her degree, collecting her Bachelor of Arts from Glasgow University, which is the same city as Cross was born and raised in.

Cross' youth wasn't just spent reading about dead people and starting essays two hours before they were due in. She also qualified as a fitness instructor and as a personal trainer.

Who said you can't get anywhere with a degree history? Again, definitely not projecting...
