WWE brought in Mickie James for this year’s women’s Royal Rumble match. This marked her first appearance for the company since they released her in 2021.
After her release, James took to Twitter to note that she was sent all of her belongings in a trash bag. Top WWE officials publicly apologized to her for the incident and then-Head of Talent Relations Mark Carrano ended up being fired over it.
The Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion spoke in a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling about how WWE President Nick Khan apologized to her at the Royal Rumble for the incident.
“And even Nick Khan came up to me at the show [Royal Rumble] and apologized. I don’t even know that he was a part of, I think he was a part of the company, but I hadn’t met him or knew who he was at that time because it was early transitional days. Even he apologized to me at TV, ‘This should’ve never happened.’ I agree it should’ve never happened. It shouldn’t have happened 10 years ago and now it’ll never happen again.”
