Mickie James Talks Possibly Facing Trinity For The IMPACT Knockouts World Title At Bound For Glory
Mickie James want a shot at Trinity and the IMPACT Knockouts World Title.
Mickie is teaming with Trinity soon, but also thinks it would be great to do battle with her.
During an interview with Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo, Mickie talks about going for gold with Gail Kim.
“We’ve never had a singles match. A lot of times, we were on two different shows, so we would only see each other on pay-per-views. I want this one-on-one match. I’ve been feeling good for a while, but I’ve also sat back, and I’ve truly been enjoying her run as champion. I’ve truly, as a sister and as a friend, have 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. It’s beautiful to see. It was one of my apprehensions of coming back anyway; I really want her to have all of these opportunities.
Now, I look at her, and she’s run through a lot of that locker room. She’s run through pretty much the entirety of the locker room since she’s been in here, in this short time, and really dominated. Obviously, there are other women that are back and coming back. I’m sure they want an opportunity at the championship too, but I must remind her and the company that I never lost the championship. I never did. I was forced to relinquish it, and I understood that, and I did that. Now that I’ve sat back and feel maybe she’s running out of competition, maybe it’s time for a match that both of us want, the people want, and that we’ve never seen before. If I’m going to test myself and go after it again, anyone aas a wrestler walking into a wrestling television company, if you’re not vying to be champion, then what are you doing? I like being a champion. It feels good, and I enjoy it. I love seeing my friends shine, but I sat back and watched her glow this whole time, and I was getting a little antsy. I also think, Trin and I as tag team champions, we could rule the world,” James said.
When a Knockouts Title bout against Trinity at IMPACT Bound For Glory was mentioned, Mickie replied, “Sounds like a headliner. Sounds like money.”

Mickie is teaming with the Knockouts World Champion tonight for IMPACT1000 night 2, as well as the upcoming Mid-South Mayhem tv tapings this weekend;‘however, Mickie would love to face off against Trinity.
Trinity is the current Knockouts World Champion and has definitely earned her spot at the top of this Knockouts division, having defeated the face of it, Deonna Purrazzo, not once but twice both winning the title and defending it.
IMPACT’s next big LIVE event will be Bound For Glory on October 21st, which is where this match should take place if it’s happening.
Just the thought of Mickie James – one of the top Knockouts a former multiple-time Knockouts World Champion is a great thing for the fans and sounds like a big win for everybody involved. We’ll have to stay tuned to see if anything comes of it.
