Mickie James on a Possible Match Against Trinity – Mickie James made a highly-anticipated return to IMPACT Wrestling at IMPACT 1000, which took place on September 14. This marked her first appearance with the company since before IMPACT Rebellion.
James had been compelled to relinquish the Knockouts Championship on the April 13 episode of IMPACT due to an injury. During her absence, Trinity made her debut and subsequently captured the Knockouts Championship.
In an interview with Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo, Mickie James expressed her clear intention to reclaim the Knockouts Championship, indicating that she’s determined to regain her gold in IMPACT Wrestling.
“We’ve never had a singles match. A lot of times, we were on two different shows, so we would only see each other on pay-per-views. I want this one-on-one match. I’ve been feeling good for a while, but I’ve also sat back, and I’ve truly been enjoying her run as champion. I’ve truly, as a sister and as a friend, have been loving all of these moments and seeing her get this opportunity and doing exactly what I knew she would do, and that’s shine. It’s beautiful to see. It was one of my apprehensions of coming back anyway; I really want her to have all of these opportunities. Now, I look at her, and she’s run through a lot of that locker room. She’s run through pretty much the entirety of the locker room since she’s been in here, in this short time, and really dominated. Obviously, there are other women that are back and coming back. I’m sure they want an opportunity at the championship too, but I must remind her and the company that I never lost the championship. I never did. I was forced to relinquish it, and I understood that, and I did that. Now that I’ve sat back and feel maybe she’s running out of competition, maybe it’s time for a match that both of us want, the people want, and that we’ve never seen before. If I’m going to test myself and go after it again, anyone aas a wrestler walking into a wrestling television company, if you’re not vying to be champion, then what are you doing? I like being a champion. It feels good, and I enjoy it. I love seeing my friends shine, but I sat back and watched her glow this whole time, and I was getting a little antsy. I also think, Trin and I as tag team champions, we could rule the world.”
When a Knockouts Title bout against Trinity at IMPACT Bound For Glory was mentioned, Mickie replied, “Sounds like a headliner. Sounds like money.”
Mickie and Trinity will be on the same team on the September 21 episode of IMPACT, which is part two of IMPACT 1000.
