EXCLUSIVE: Update On Mickie James' IMPACT Wrestling Status

We could see Mickie James return to an IMPACT Wrestling ring sooner rather than later, though the former Knockouts World Champion won't rush to get back into the mix just for the sake of it.

Mickie's husband (and fellow IMPACT star) Nick Aldis provided an update on his wife's current status during a conversation with Cultaholic Wrestling's Tom Campbell.

"She's 100 percent, so now it's just a case of she's just waiting for her right moment. We do have interests outside of wrestling, we have a supplement company, and Mickie has her show and the music stuff, and we have the horses. We're also producing a show in Australia and Mickie is also a producer of the Last Match musical. She's really just sort of weighing up where she wants to spend her time because we also have a son," Aldis stated.

"So it's also a case of making the best use of our time that means we have to be away from our son. She needs to be on something that she feels is valuable and worthwhile. She's certainly going to show up again in IMPACT Wrestling at some point but, like I said, it's finding the right time. She's been around enough, she's not in a rush just to get back for attention's sake. She's going to bide her time and make it meaningful."

James was forced to relinquish the Knockouts World Title in April due to a broken rib, as well as a shoulder injury. The 43-year-old last wrestled at the February 26 IMPACT tapings.
