Days after the WWE announced that Stephanie McMahon was the first inductee for their Class of 2026, their subsidiary, TNA, announced that former TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James, would be inducted into their Hall of Fame. 

James will be inducted on October 12, when TNA will have its Bound for Glory Event, which will take place in Lowell, Massachusetts. 

A five-time Knockouts Champion, James won multiple titles in the WWE and is still an active competitor in the independent scene.

We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Mickey James for her impending honor.

 

Entering the WWE in 2005, as a psychotic Diva with clear lesbian undertones, Mickey James won the Women’s title from Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago. Although her character would turn face and be defanged somewhat, James was always considered one of the top female wrestlers not only in the WWE, but also in women’s wrestling in general. She would win the Women’s Title four more times and the Diva’s Title once before being released from her contract in 2010. It is still very conceivable that another high profile and lengthy run is in her future, so we will hold off for a bit before ranking her among the 300.
