WWE ‘Raw’ superstar and current number one contender for the Raw Women’s Championship Mickie James is scheduled to enter a music-based Hall of Fame, according to WrestlingInc.

The Native American Music Awards (NAMA) have existed for approximately seventeen years. With James’ work in country music, it appears she is set to be inducted into their Hall of Fame at the upcoming Annual Native American Music Awards.

This celebration is scheduled for October 14 at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. James is also set to perform, though it is unknown at this time what song she will be or if she will perform multiples. At this time, it seems that “Get Down” and “Shooting Blanks” are her most likely.

Here is the press release from the company:
