During a recent appearance on the Two Man Power Trip podcast, former WWE Superstar Mickie James commented on returning at NXT TakeOver: Toronto, WWE offering her a trainer role beforehand, and more. She said,
“I was going to quietly stop taking wrestling bookings. I would still do appearances, but I tried to go back to WWE and they didn’t seem interested. I was offered a trainer role or a tryout to see if I liked it, but I wasn’t ready to be a trainer yet. I was still young, I just had [her son Donovan], and had done stuff with IMPACT. That was when I got the call, when I was trying to figure out what was next. If nothing else, that could’ve been the last match. I would have been happy coming back one last time, doing NXT, and anything after that could be a special appearance if I did anything. Out of that, we had a chance to build a moment and it was awesome for me to go back to Toronto because I have so much history. All the pieces fell together for me. Then, I got asked to return full-time.”
James is currently working for the NWA and will be the executive producer for NWA Empowerrr, which takes place on August 28 in St. Louis, MO.
