Mickie James Says She Almost Returned to WWE

Former WWE Women’s and Divas Champion Mickie James recently returned to TNA and “Impact Wrestling,” where her fiancee Magnus is currently locked in a feud with Bram.

James took a hiatus from wrestling to have a child with Magnus, but revealed recently in an interview with Brian Fritz she nearly ended back up with WWE before finding out she was pregnant:

“I think it was one of those things of, really when I kind of found out because at that time my whole focus at that point was, because I had left TNA and I was a free agent. I had some talks with WWE and my hope was to like actually perhaps maybe go back to WWE and do something there. I had been working diligently towards that and when I found out I was already two months along and had no idea. So I had gotten in really great shape, New Year’s resolutions and I was getting shredded and was like ‘oh yeah, great.’ I was making positive momentum and really doing good and then I was like ‘oh, well what am I going to do now?’ This is all I’ve known. This is the only life I know. My life for the last 15 years is being a road warrior and being a star of sorts. Sometimes a little brighter than others. I think at that point I was like how am I going to do this? Maybe this is it. Maybe that was my, I have been very blessed to have an amazing career, one that a lot of people would strive to have. So, should I just be grateful for the fact that I have achieved these goals and done these things that I wanted to do and set out to do in my life and OK, it’s for the next chapter? Luckily, I had so much time to sit back and think about it because I really couldn’t do much else except for things around the house.” 

The former champion had been rumored for a WWE return at one point, and was said to be interested in it. This confirms she at least had talks about making it a reality.

At one point, she had even been thrown around as an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

Editor’s Note

She would definitely add legitimacy to the division, but it seems she’s happy where she is right now.
