Former WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James will be backstage at Tuesday’s SmackDown Live TV event in Memphis, TN and is expected to make her main roster TV return on the show, according to PWInsider Elite.
It was reported last month that James had signed a multi-year deal with the company and that she would be featured on the SmackDown Live brand. WWE offered the deal to James after her NXT Women’s Title match with Asuka at NXT Takeover: Toronto in November.
There is speculation that James will be revealed as the person behind the La Luchadora character on the show. Deonna Purrazzo has been under the La Luchadora mask in recent weeks, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be the one working as the character when it’s unmasked. This week’s SmackDown Live could be the best time for the La Luchadora character to be unmasked as Alexa Bliss is set to defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Becky Lynch in a steel cage match.
