Mickie James is set to make an announcement at the next set of IMPACT! tapings.
The promotion confirmed on social media that on night one of its two nights of tapings, Aug. 26 & 27 James will return to IMPACT for the first time in about a month to make this announcement. Her last match was taped on July 2 and aired on July 14 against Chelsea Green where she suffered a loss.
James had previously hinted at a retirement to her in-ring career in a social media post. In a recent interview with MYTV26 at Stocktoncon, she spoke on what is next for her.
“I don’t know. I’m a mom, my son is eight this year. I think I’ll always do stuff with wrestling, in some capacity. I enjoy doing things like this [conventions], it’s a way to reconnect with fans. I don’t really know what’s next, that’s the beauty of it,” she said.
Also set for the tapings will he a match between Masha Slamovich and one-half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Deonna Purrazzo. The last time that Slamovich faced Purrazzo was prior to her signing with IMPACT during Knockouts Knockdown. She lost in a title match when Purrazzo was then-Knockouts Champion.
Slamovich is undefeated since officially becoming a Knockout and she has finally targeted the Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace after Grace retained at Emergence. A win over Purrazzo would certainly put Slamovich in line to face Grace next for the gold.
