Tay Conti has nothing but praise for Nikki Cross
The tweet is not the first time Tay praised Nikki. In an interview in May, Conti praised Nikki for being a constant support throughout her career. Conti even called Nikki her best friend in the industry.
“Well, I have a couple of people I will keep in touch with for sure but, like, Nikki has my heart. Nikki is different. Nikki and Raul Mendoza. They are like… I have no words for them. Since day one, Nikki was so helpful and I had, like, my first TV match against her so she’s so special.

Nikki, in turn, described how Conti is a “beautiful person inside and out. She always wants to do her best, working, and training with her was so much fun. I can’t wait to see what she will do in this industry.”
Raul and Nikki are both in WWE now. Nikki is currently pursuing her first Women’s title as she faces Bayley at the upcoming Clash of Champions 2020. We hope the duo of Cross and Conti continue their friendship despite being in rival companies.
