Wait a minute, Mickie James? Like the current Knockouts champion?? lol

The very same. When these names were announced on Smackdown, Pat McAfee acknowledged Mickie as the Impact Knockouts Champion, and said she might have an axe to grind for some garbage in the past.

Then again, she could be losing the Knockouts Title tonight to Deonna Purrazzo.

If this isnt a sign that Impact is merely an indy in WWE’s eyes, I dont know what is.

5

She’s definitely losing the title, but I thought it was unbelievable for WWE to acknowledge Impact and the Knockouts title on tv and social media.

I just think it comes down to the fact that WWE has “budget cut”-ed or lost so much female talent that they have to look elsewhere.

I took it as a big spoiler for tonight. As a big Impact guy, it’s very annoying lol but also cool they, or at least Pat, Acknowledged it.
