House of Glory has announced two names for Windy City Warfare on Friday, September 25, at Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago: a HOG Women’s Championship match between Shotzi and Nikki Storm, and the return of Killer Kross.
The show streams live and free on HOG’s YouTube channel. Tickets are on sale at HOGWrestling.net.
Shotzi vs. Nikki Storm
Shotzi will defend the HOG Women’s Championship against Nikki Storm. HOG announced the match Wednesday.
Storm, who wrestled in WWE as Nikki Cross, will be making her HOG in-ring debut in Chicago.
From the announcement: “The former WWE Superstar makes her HOG debut at Windy City Warfare and immediately set her sights on the top prize in the women’s division. Known for bringing an unpredictable brand of chaos wherever she goes, Storm will now have the opportunity to capture championship gold in only her second HOG appearance.”
Shotzi’s most recent defense came against Steph De Lander at HOG Fallout in Los Angeles. HOG’s announcement did not give a date for that show or say how long Shotzi has held the title.
Storm is a former two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion as Nikki Cross, once with Alexa Bliss and once with Rhea Ripley, and held the 24/7 Championship. She competed in WWE from 2017 until her release in 2025.
Killer Kross returns
HOG announced Kross’s return separately on Wednesday night. No opponent or match was named.
From the announcement: “Kross is no stranger to House Of Glory. The former WWE superstar has left destruction in his wake throughout his history with the promotion, and now he is back with a new target and unfinished business.”
Kross, who wrestled in WWE as Karrion Kross, left the company when his contract expired in August 2025. He has worked independents since, including Darby Allin’s 52W Hardway show in New York in October 2025, where he teamed with Allin against JD Drake and Steven Borden.
