NWA now has a husband and wife duo working with them and with Mickie being charge of this PPV there is no doubt that she will make it great.

The indies have a lot of talented women so this probably won't be as disastrous as it sounds. I can't imagine a lot of people want to spend money on TWO NWA PPVs in one weekend though after how the last one went

Offer a bundle at least, surely they will

 

[King Kota]

Mickie in NWA is cool gives them some big star power or name value alone.

They more than likely will

Real cool news, love me some Mickie James.

Wait does NWA not count as a place you got to wait 90 days to go to? Cause it's not been 90 days yet, has it? Unless this wasn't aired on like the show or something. Not sure how that works. The show will be after 90 days tho.

 

[Necro]

For who Mickie? Wasn't she released in late April?

Yeah, and 90 days will be in July. So, trying to figure out how she was able to be on the show to announce this. Maybe she got the 90 days waved or something. Just confused on how it works

Seems like a case by case thing honestly. Just the fact that she's showing up should tell you she's in the clear.

 

[Necro]

I guess they claim because she wasn’t paid. But I have a feeling Vince will just payout her 90 days after the garbage bag incident. Anyone else he’d probably sue lol

Could be as simple as Vince not seeing it as competition

 

[Dale]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just as simple as her asking Vince given she spoke well of him during the trashbag gate.

Really hope she can pull in some favours and put on a good show to boot.

Corgan's relationship with AEW - will see a couple of talent come over for this event no doubt

Mickie James said she has no intentions of wrestling on the upcoming NWA all-women's pay-per-view, but fans might get to see her in the ring very soon thereafter.

Talking on the NWA Power post-show, James said that because she will be producing the Saturday, August 28th show in St. Louis, Missouri, she has no plans to "go into business for herself and wrestle one of her favorites."

However, the 41-year-old hinted there might be "a chance to do something" on the NWA 73 anniversary pay-per-view the following day.

James said that she didn't want to do the same thing as she did when her first WWE run came to an end and that producing this event was something she could sink her teeth and heart into.

The former six-time WWE Women's/Divas champion said her last two years in WWE was a "weird space" for her and that she thought she had a plan for how things would end. However, her ideas weren't always the ideas of others and that was ok.

During her conversation, she also hinted at a return for the NWA Women's Tag Team titles which have been on ice since 1984 when the then-WWF bought them and turned them into their own Women's Tag Team titles. Those titles were deactivated in February 1989.
