James Reflects on Career Evolution and Motherhood

James shared an introspective message about her journey in professional wrestling and personal growth. The multi-time champion discussed how her priorities have shifted over time.

Once upon a time my only goal was to go down in history at one of the greatest women’s wrestler of all time. To make a change in the business for everyone. Man and woman alike. Although some may say I have done that, I still always find myself not quite good enough, worthy, disappointed, & coming up short in a completely subjective world that I truly had no power or control over.

James emphasized her current focus on authenticity and motherhood, marking a significant evolution from her previous career-focused mindset.

Now my only goal is to show up authentically, to make time and appreciate all these little moments that matter the most, and just be the greatest mom I can be daily.

The chaotic situation between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair on SmackDown might lead to an unexpected return. WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis could potentially bring back his wife, Mickie James, to restore order on the blue brand.

SmackDown has featured prominent storylines on the Road to WrestleMania 41, with particular intensity in the women’s division. Tiffany Stratton is scheduled to defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania next month.

The rivalry between Stratton and Flair escalated dramatically on the blue brand during the recent episode in Barcelona, Spain. Security and officials were unable to control the situation as chaos erupted between both competitors.

Charlotte Flair defeated B-Fab in a singles match on SmackDown by making her submit to a figure-eight leg lock. Flair refused to break the submission hold until her WrestleMania opponent appeared, leading to a physical confrontation between the two.

The initial brawl appeared to subside momentarily, but the situation reignited when the altercation spilled onto the stage just as The Miz was about to begin his talk show segment.

Mickie James has not appeared on WWE main roster television since her participation in the Royal Rumble in 2022. Her potential return could see her assuming a significant role as a co-General Manager focusing specifically on the women’s division each Friday night.

Another possibility includes James serving as a special guest referee for the championship match between Flair and Stratton at WrestleMania. This could help ensure a fair contest between the two rivals.

The actual plans for how Nick Aldis will address the escalating situation between the Women’s Champion and her challenger remain to be seen as WrestleMania 41 approaches.

CHARLOTTE WINS VIA SUBMISSION

BUT SHE REVERSES TO BREAK THE HOLD
