Mickie James believes Jordynne Grace deserves another shot at her Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship, which is why she is giving her the opportunity to run it back at the upcoming Sacrifice pay-per-view event.
Speaking on the “Instinct Culture” podcast, James discussed her rematch with Grace at Sacrifice. For those unware, it was Mickie who defeated Jordynne to capture the title at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Grace asking for the rematch: “This is a match that Jordynne asked for. Technically, she obviously has it in her rematch clause. To her, there is some speculation on whether she should still be champion. There’s a bit of controversy, and I certainly don’t want any controversy and if I’m going to be the champion, I want to truly be the champion. She deserves this rematch.”
On being more prepared for the match: “I already know what I’m going in for and that’s going to be war, I still feel from the first match that we had she is a different type of competitor and she’s absolutely amazing. So I know, whatever you’re in store for is going to be a war. I hope that Jordynne is listening because now, I’m aware. Now I know how hard you hit. Now I know what you’re capable of. So I’m going in there — I have watched it, studied it going into it. There’s a difference between watching and studying and feeling and being apart and being in there. So now that I’m aware, I’m hoping that I can get it done a little quicker this time.”
