It was recently revealed that this year’s TNA Hall of Fame induction ceremony will focus on past stars of their Knockouts division, with Mickie James, Velvet Sky, and Angelina set to receive the promotion’s most significant honour. And now, during a just-released interview with WrestlingNews.co, James has disclosed that she will be inducted by former rival and real-life close friend Lisa Marie Varon, better known to fans as Victoria in WWE and Tara in TNA.
Between her WWE and TNA runs, Mickie James is an 11-time women’s world champion, and while she hasn’t competed regularly since 2023, the 46-year-old remains very much involved in the wrestling business. This includes appearing as a coach on WWE LFG, working as an Executive Producer and Head of Female Talent for OVW, while also being a supportive wife of SmackDown’s on-screen General Manager, Nick Aldis.
