Over the years, fans have always wished it was WWE open the forbidden door allowing some of its fighters to fight in competing companies and allowing their fighters to fight in their own rings.
during the Smackdown this Friday We had the first indication that this might happen with wrestling effect, with WWE “opening the door” for Mickie James to participate in this year’s Royal Rumble.
WWE announced 19 female fighters in the Women’s Royal Rumble and Mickie James in a small group of former company wrestlers, along with the Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki Bella), Lita, Michelle McCool, Between Parties.
However, Pat McAfee Introduced Mickie James as the current World Champion in Impact Knockout and even mentioned garbage bag accident that occurred after his dismissal. The commentator said the fighter “has an ax that sharpens the trash that happened in the past.”
Mickey James will defend the Impact Knockout World Championship in a Texas Death Match against former champion Deonna Purrazzo at Hard to Kill This Saturday January 8th, and “Virtuosa” promises to strip him of his title tonight.

We’ll see how far Mickie James’ involvement in the Royal Rumble goes and what else could happen between WWE and Impact wrestling, but this is enough to speculate a partnership between the two companies.
Curious to see Mickie James participate in the Royal Rumble?
