Mickie James Will Give Smackdown’s Women’s Division A Real Boost

... division, at least in terms of sheer numbers: while Smack Down has fully utilized their women’s roster from top to bottom in a way Monday’s show has not, they also have been limited to just six women with Eva Marie off television first for a suspension and then to film movies. Mickie James gives them another credible veteran threat to go along with Natalya and Nikki Bella, as someone who can, along with Becky Lynch and those two, help along the less experienced performers like Lynch just did with now women’s champion Alexa Bliss. Given RAW’s obsession with focusing almost exclusively on Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and now Bayley, adding James while Smack Down presumably keeps their other women on-screen as they have should finally give the blue brand the real edge over the competition in this department. Smack Down has always had the promise to deliver a fine product and create new stars, but it was also clear from the outset that new blood ...

Big Update On Mickie James Ahead Of Rumored ‘smackdown Live’ Debut

... Earlier this month, the rumors turned into reality, when it was reported by PWInsider that Mickie James would likely be on the Smack Down Live brand by January 2017, as she had just signed a multi-year contract with WWE. And now it looks like she’s taking the next crucial steps in ensuring her debut pushes forward as planned. According to Wrestling __link__, James tweeted earlier this week that she was headed to Pittsburgh to undergo WWE’s standard medical tests.

Should she be debuting as planned, the 37-year-old James would add another veteran presence to the Smack Down women’s roster, where longtime WWE mainstays Nikki Bella and Natalya have just began feuding. With that in mind, it’s possible she feuds with a younger talent instead. The ...

Mickie James Was The Masked Woman On Smackdown Live

... The social media was buzzing since then about the woman’s identity who was introduced to the audience as La Luchadora. When Alexa Bliss was asked about the woman after the match, she suggested it might be Nia Jax or Sasha Banks. However, the twitter-verse is suggesting something totally different. It is being said that the mysterious woman is none other than Mickie James. It was reported earlier that James is set for a future return to Smackdown in 2017 and with this disguise, she is already inserted into the storyline.

Mickie James Behind La Luchadora Angle On ‘smackdown Live’? Plus, More Return News

... just about any female wrestler, whether actually on the WWE, NXT, or any other roster. The masked La Luchadora persona was first interjected into WWE storylines during the December 20 edition of WWE Smack Down Live. During that program, new WWE Smack Down Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss — fresh off of her huge pay-per-view title win over Becky Lynch at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs — took on the hooded newcomer in a non-title match. On that night, La Luchadora submitted Bliss with an armbar, then immediately revealed herself to be Lynch. It was one week later on WWE Smack Down Live, during a second La Luchadora appearance, that the whole situation got a whole lot murkier. During that show, La Luchadora made her presence known during a one-on-one match between Alexa and Becky. Almost immediately, fans’ heads began to spin with WWE’s revelation that a third mystery woman was involved in the confusing WWE Smack Down Live angle. Thus, the legend of La Luchadora was born, fueling WWE rumors by fans as to who, exactly, is donning the mask. Masked wrestlers [Image by Chris Mc Grath/Getty Images]. Then came this week’s ...

Brock Lesnar Vs Braun Strowman Stare Down Proves The Power Of Big Men, Steel Cage Credibility Harmed On Smackdown Live

... Harmed On Smackdown Live. (Photo by Gary Gershoff/Wire Image). My latest piece on __link__ and their app looks at WWE programming this week. Here’s some highlights starting with Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman. The seconds were few and precious, but they generated a feeling palpable. It was one of those instances upon which the WWE’s brand has been built. The moment on Monday night when a returning Brock Lesnar (seen for the first time in two months) cleared the ring only to realize he hadn’t, and that Braun Strowman was still there — that, ladies and gentlemen, is what this business is all about. The locking of their eyes. The realization by fans of what was transpiring. The energy spiking as would mercury in a thermometer sitting on a hot plate. Holy hell. I couldn’t have been alone in needing to see this, of wondering what might happen next. And the wonder is how an entertainment company builds interest for a live show. Those larger-than-life characters ...
