Mickie James gave wrestling fans some unfortunate news on Impact last night. The upcoming pay-per-view event, Rebellion, was set to feature a Knockouts Championship match between Mickie James, Deonna Purazzo and Jordynne Grace, but due to an injury, James was uncertain to compete. Unfortunately, on last night's episode of Impact Wrestling, it was announced that Mickie James would vacate the title due to a broken rib.
While it's always a disappointment to see a champion unable to defend their title, the show must go on. In this case, Rebellion will still feature a Knockouts Championship match, but it will be a singles match between Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purazzo for the vacant title. Both wrestlers have been impressive in the Impact Wrestling promotion, and this match promises to be a show-stopper.
While it's unfortunate that Mickie James won't be able to compete, the silver lining is that this match gives Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purazzo the opportunity to shine on the big stage. The Knockouts Division has been a highlight of Impact Wrestling in recent years, and this match has the potential to be a classic.
Beyond the match itself, the vacating of the Knockouts Championship raises some questions about Mickie James' future in the wrestling world. She has been a trailblazer for women's wrestling, and her recent return to Impact Wrestling was met with much excitement. However, injuries are a reality of the sport, and it remains to be seen how long it will take for James to recover and what her next move will be.
