Last year, Mickie James made history at the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Mickie entered the Rumble as the IMPACT Knockouts World Champion. It was the first crossover between WWE and TNA Wrestling. That especially happened under Vince McMahon’s regime.
Mickie James was recently removed from the TNA roster as an active talent. The former IMPACT Knockouts World Champion is currently taking a break from pro wrestling. She is on good terms with both WWE and TNA Wrestling.
In an interview with Gabby AF, Mickie James said that she won’t come back to Royal Rumble unless they book her to win the match.
“I’m not coming back at this Rumble unless I’m winning because Hardcore Country at WrestleMania? It prints itself. Because the winner gets a title shot at WrestleMania. If you win the Rumble, you automatically get a title shot.”
