An update on Mickie James’ current status with IMPACT Wrestling.
Mickie has been out of action for some time now, since before Rebellion, when she was forced to relinquish the Knockouts Championship. However, it appears that she may be returning to the ring soon.
Fightful Select now reports that Mickie may be back in the ring soon with IMPACT.
The legendary Mickie James didn’t make it back in time to defend her IMPACT Knockouts Championship at Rebellion due to a rib injury, but we’re told she’s healthy and could be returning very soon. Her husband Nick Aldis said recently that she’s 100 percent, and Fightful has been told that she was cleared a few weeks ago. Mickie James is technically free agent, and one who has always had plenty of options. Mickie James was expected to remain with IMPACT Wrestling until at least this Summer, sources in the company said, though that was before the injury. Another source said that despite the fact that Mickie James technically is and always has been a free agent since coming back to the company, they’ve always seen her as a woman of her word and there’s never been any real concern of her going back on commitments. Mickie injured her ribs at the February IMPACT Wrestling tapings. After a month out of action, she still wasn’t healthy enough to compete. However, IMPACT did not want to have to vacate both the World and Knockouts Championships after Josh Alexander’s injury. Unfortunately she was unable to compete, and doctors had told her she could miss “months.” Deonna Purrazzo would go on to win the championship.

We will have to wait and see when James will make her return to the ring but for now, her fans will just have to remain patient.
