Mickie James recently arrived in NWA to be involved in their upcoming all-women’s show, NWA In Power. However, don’t expect her to wrestle on the show.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, James said that she has no intention of wrestling on the show. Instead, she wants the attention on the show itself while she works behind the scenes. Here is the quote, also provided by Chris Van Vliet:
“I’m not a mark, I’m not going to sit there and book myself on top of my own show. Who does that? Everybody does that don’t they? That’s how wrestling works. I don’t have any intention of working on the show. I’ll probably come out and say hello, but I really want to focus on the show. I want this show to be a success, and I’m going to be in Gorilla on the headset running and talking. I can’t perform that job to the best of my abilities and be out there wrestling at the same time. I just feel like it blurs the lines. I’m not saying I won’t wrestle. And I am an independent contractor, I can show up anywhere and do all kinds of things. I can still wrestle and I’m pretty good at it.”
Mickie James was released by WWE on April 15, 2021. Since then, she has been outspoken about wanting to showcase what women can do after WWE chose not to do a second Evolution pay-per-view. You can read more about that here.
