Mickie James Reveals Reaction To WWE Release

Mickie James was among the WWE stars released on April 15, 2021. While she doesn’t think the move surprised her, she has said she thought she would end her career in WWE.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, James was asked about her reaction to being released. She also said it felt like when she was released from the company the first time back in 2010. Here is the quote, also provided by Chris Van Vliet:

“I think that surprised is a word that is thrown around. I don’t think I am ever surprised at anything. It’s hard to have expectations because nothing ever goes according to your plan. But I thought I would wrap my career there [WWE]. I was so grateful to be able to go back and wrap up my story and bow out in a good graces kind of way. I felt like the first time I left was on such weird terms. And I did some amazing stuff when I came back. But it wasn’t shocking, because I was kind of in this space where I felt it kind of coming. I can’t explain why but I just did, and it felt disheartening. It was disappointing more than anything.”

Since her release, Mickie James has appeared for NWA. She will also be part of their upcoming all-women’s pay-per-view, NWA In Power.
