It sounds like Mickie James wants a singles match against Trinity just as badly as the champion does.
IMPACT Wrestling‘s Mickie James recently sat down with Steve Fall of WrestlingNews.co. When asked about Trinity’s recent comments about wanting a singles match with her, James said it’s something she wants too because they’ve never been able to do it.
“We’ve never even had a singles match,” Mickie James said. “We’ve had tag matches, eight girl extravaganza, ten girl, different things like that, but we’ve never had a one-on-one match. We’ve been on the same team; we’ve been on opposing teams even. A lot of times, it was like we were on two different shows, so we didn’t really see each other for the pay-per-views and stuff like that, but she wants us to have a match.
“I want this one-on-one match too. I meant what I said. I’ve been feeling good for a while, but I’ve also been sat back, and I’ve really truly been enjoying her run as champion. I’ve really, truly, as a sister and as a friend, have really been loving all of these moments and seeing her get this opportunity and doing exactly what I knew she would do, and that’s shine.
“And it’s beautiful to see, and so even though it was one of my apprehensions of just coming back anyway. I really want her to have all of these opportunities, but now I look at it, and I go like she’s ran through a lot of that locker room. She’s ran through pretty much the entirety of that locker room now since she’s been there in this short time and really dominated.
Mickie James had to relinquish the IMPACT Knockouts Title due to injury
“Obviously, there’s other women that are back and that are coming back. So I’m sure that they want an opportunity at the championship too, but I must remind her [and] the company that I never lost that championship. I never did. I was forced to relinquish it. And I understood that, and I did that. And now that I’ve sat back and I feel like, okay, maybe she’s running out of competition.
“Maybe it’s time for a match that both of us want. I feel like that the people want and that we’ve never seen before. And if I’m going to say okay, if I’m gonna test myself and go after it again like I as in anyone who is a wrestler and is walking into a wrestling television show or television company. If you’re not vying to be champion, then what are you doing? Right?
“I like being champion. It feels good on me, and I enjoy it. I love seeing my friend shine, but I think I’ve like sat back and watched her glow this whole time. And I was getting a little antsy and first dipping my toes in at IMPACT 1000 and just being there for all that was super, super special. But again, Memphis is not too far from home. [I can] literally drive there. And I was like, I may want to show up there just maybe see what’s in store for Hardcore Country. But I also think, like, oh god, if Trin and I were tag team champions, we could rule the world. So there are so many things that we can do.”
It sounds like money
When it was mentioned that IMPACT’s big pay-per-view Bound For Glory is coming up next month, James said a match with Trinity sounds like it could be a money main event.
“Sounds like a headliner, is what it sounds like to me,” Mickie James said. “You know what else it sounds like? Money!”
