WWE announced Instagram on Thursday night that former WWE Women’s and Divas Champion Mickie James would make her NXT debut on November 19 at the NXT TakeOver: Toronto special challenging Asuka for the NXT Women’s Championship.
This will be James’ first WWE appearance since 2010. James made her WWE debut back in 2005 in a storyline with Trish Stratus. Following her release from WWE in 2010, James jumped to TNA where she stayed until 2013.
James made a brief return to TNA in 2015 in a storyline involving Magnus (her husband in real life). She then remained active on the independent scene and worked dates for Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling promotion last summer.
