Mickie James Responds To NXT Star Wanting To Form Tag Team
Mickie James hasn’t ruled out a return to WWE.
Following NXT Deadline, Fallon Henley made a pitch to James on social media, writing that they should team up to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Mickie James quickly replied, hinting that she’d be up for the idea. Speaking during an appearance on the Gabby AF podcast, the star expanded further on her reply to Henley, adding that if she’s coming back, she’s coming to win.
“She did say the drinks were on her. And I do love a drink as you’re aware. I’ve been watching Fallon for a while because obviously there’s been some comparisons there and there’s clearly similarities there. And I thought, ‘Oh, this is so cool.’ I didn’t obviously think it was an homage to me or anything like that.
There’s clearly more Country girls in the world than just me. But I just thought it was so special and it was unique. And I thought it was cool that she asked me to do that. She said, ‘Go for the titles’. And I just need her to know, I only come to win. I don’t come to lose. So, I’m down. I’m her Huckleberry. But we’re going to win.”
