Top IMPACT Star To Be At WrestleMania 39

Top IMPACT Star To Be At WrestleMania 39 WWE

IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James has confirmed that she will be in attendance for WrestleMania 39 Sunday.

James is very familiar with some of the competitors in one of the matches announced for the event, with Trish Stratus set to return to the ring and team with Becky Lynch and Lita to face off against Bayley, IYO SKY and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL.

Speaking with Denise Salcedo, James noted that she’s excited for the future, pointing out that a number of women have made big comebacks in recent years:

“How amazing, how exciting of a time is it in 2023 when we are looking at Lita as a Tag Team Champion with Becky?

“Now looking at Team Bestie (Trish Stratus and Lita) going to be at WrestleMania, two women who I’ve shared a lot of history with, and who I admire, look up to, find hella inspiring, and I just adore.

“You see that happening there. You see, in IMPACT, I’m the champion in 2023, and our tag team division is shining so bright, and the women in that locker room.

“Then you see over at AEW, Saraya comes back from a career-ending injury. Someone who they said, ‘Oh, she’s never going to wrestle again.’

“What a freakin magical time in professional wrestling and not just in women’s professional wrestling, just in professional wrestling across the board.

“For a long time, it used to be like, ‘Oh, well, they’re retired,’ or ‘they’re this,’ and it would all be about this whole new — and it was never that way about the men as much as it was for the women.”

James pointed out that she will be in California when WWE visits to host WrestleMania 39 on April 1 and 2.

Confirming that she will be in the crowd for the April 2 show, James stated that she’s hopeful that her friends will be competing on the Sunday card:

“I’m going to be there for WrestleCon. I’m going to be out there in LA

“I’ve already texted both of them, ‘I really hope you guys are wrestling on night two.’

“It is my first time ever watching WrestleMania as a spectator. I’ve never been. I could never go when we were kids. We didn’t have the money.

“Never went as a child have only been as a talent. For my first time ever, in the history of the world, in the history of Mickie James, I’m going to be going to WrestleMania as a spectator.

“I’m just praying that my friends are wrestling night two, so I can watch it there live, in-person, because I really would love to see it live in person.”

James is the current IMPACT Knockouts Champion after defeating Jordynne Grace for the gold at the Hard To Kill pay-per-view in January.

A huge title bout has been announced for the IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United show that will take place during WrestleMania week, which you can read more about right here.
