WSVN-TV Entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed WWE Superstar Mickie James. During the interview, which you view a video of below, James commented on getting the call to return to WWE, “TNA” Wrestling and more. You can check out some highlights below:
On AEW: “Competition is amazing. I think everyone achieves higher peaks with that and we all welcome competition. It’s good for the boys, it’s good for my friends who want somewhere else to work and that’s great.”
On getting the call to return to WWE: “Hunter actually called me and it was very unexpected because when I left there I called a couple of times after I left TNA. They called once after I had already started in TNA and I don’t know if they were calling to say ‘Hey, what are you doing do you want to come back? Maybe we overreacted,’ or have you learned your lesson kind of thing. But I just told them I’m doing TNA now and they were like ‘Oh, ok.’ But I had friends in WWE would who still call and check up on me and make sure I was doing good. So when I left TNA I thought maybe I’ll call them back and see if they’re even interested and I didn’t hear from them for a while. I went and I had my son and I was totally okay with with that chapter being closed and then that’s when they called me for the Asuka match first. They wanted to see if I would even be interested in that Asuka match. I think the fact that they were calling me showed they were interested and they already knew that I was sorry for any of my bull crap.”
