Mickie James returned to the WWE at NXT Takeover: Toronto. She lost against Asuka for the NXT Women’s Championship in a competitive match. It was clear after watching her wrestle again that she would be a great addition to either the RAW or Smackdown Live Women’s divisions.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Mickie James has signed a multi-year deal with the WWE. It had been reported earlier in the week by Pro Wrestling Sheet that James had received a contract offer from the company and it looks like it has been finalized.
PWInsider also reports that Mickie will be joining the Smackdown Women’s roster, starting as early as January of 2017.
This signing will give Smackdown Live a big boost for their women’s division. She could be an instant title contender and will be able to help teach the younger talent. Some great potential matches to be seen, including Mickie vs Becky Lynch, Mickie vs Nikki Bella and Mickie vs Alexa Bliss.

Mickie James is 37 years old but still looks to have a lot in the tank from her performance at NXT Takeover. Personally excited to see her on the main roster again and see what she can do!!!
What if Mickie was the one that took out Nikki backstage at Survivor Series??
Let us know what you think about the signing in the comment section below. Are you excited to see her return? Is bringing her to Smackdown Live the right call?
I am SHOCKED they put her on smack down w/ nikki bella & cena on the roster. I guess Raw is content w/ sasha and charlotte being only the women heading their show. I honestly can’t see paige being around that much longer & I don’t trust how they’ll use “emmalina” after 2 weeks.
Mickie can add star power for Smackdown women’s division, either be babyface women title challenger against Alexa or be the true Nikki’s attacker, Mickie can claim that Nikki is still nobody when she was around
