Mickie James will be returning to the ring at Against All Odds as she is set to do battle alongside Mia Yim in tag team action. They will be facing Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green. The event takes place on July 1.
James has not wrestled since April 2 at the Multiverse of Matches event.
James has had a lot of history with Purrazzo and Green during her current run with IMPACT! Her long battle with Purrazzo over the Knockouts World Championship culminated to 2021 Bound for Glory where James became a four-time champion. As for Green, she turned on her friendship with James just a few months ago.
After being the Special Guest Enforcer at Queen of the Mountain, tensions have continued between James and Purrazzo/Green. She came rushing to the ring during the June 23 episode of IMPACT! to save Yim during her match with Green.
This is the second Knockouts match confirmed for Against All Odds as a rematch is set to take place between Tasha Steelz and Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace.
Gisele Shaw is set to take on Rosemary on this week’s IMPACT! on June 30. If she wins she will assist The Influence in a possible rematch for the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against Taya Valkyrie and Rosemary. Madison Rayne suffered an injury at Slammiversary, so Shaw joining The Influence could benefit the team.
