10 Backstage Stories About Mickie James We Can't Believe

Mickie James has become one of the best female wrestlers in the whole history, but beyond her triumphs, her beauty, her talent, and her charisma, there are backstage stories that you probably did not know and you will find it hard to believe.

James has become a legend, without a doubt, she’s loved by fans and has written several pages of WWE history. But behind the scenes, there are certain things about her that can really surprise us; from enmities to being a mentor for another great wrestler.

10 Had A Relationship With John Cena

Mickie James had a secret affair with one of the greatest wrestlers in history, none other than John Cena, in 2007, before their relationship became a story in mid-2008.

The worst of the case is that Kenny Dykstra says once he found out, he was transferred from RAW, where Cena and James belonged, to SmackDown. All of this proved to be a problem behind the scenes, and her separation is said to have been the reason she was released from WWE in 2010.

9 Wasn't In Company Plans For A While

James revealed that she had been trying to return to WWE for a long time and contacted several times, but the company simply did not require her services.

She said that about a year before her return she had been doing that. Even she came to think that they did not want her and that perhaps she should dedicate herself to something else.

The important thing is that in 2016 she finally returned to WWE at NXT TakeOver: Toronto and in 2017 she made her debut on SmackDown.

8 Differences With Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch and Mickie James were never friends, and that was clear when they exchanged a few words, through the social network Twitter.

Lynch tweeted a photo of her with her quirky #TheMan and Mickie responded that she was proud to be #TheWoman. Among other things, the Irish woman accused her partner of dating John Cena just to boost her career.

Things did not go beyond that, fortunately, but that situation between them will always be tense, to say the least.

7 Vince Was Unhappy With Mickie

Most probably remember the match between Mickie James and Trish Stratus at WrestleMania 22, as it was truly stunning. It was a great show that fans loved and culminated in James' victory.

However, not everyone enjoyed the show, as Vince McMahon seems to have been the only unhappy person after the match because Mickie acted vulgarly during the match.

Mickie said that in the locker room Vince yelled at her and claimed her, but she was still happy with her performance.

6 Reason For Mickie James' Release

At a certain point in her career, Mickie James was the best wrestler in the women's division, and it was when she was at that peak of her career that she disassociated herself from the World Wrestling Entertainment, precisely in April 2010.

Reports suggested various reasons for James' departure, including her previous relationship with John Cena. It's not entirely clear why that happened, but fans never expected one of the greatest superstars to suddenly leave the company. At least fans were able to see her in the ring again.

5 Problems With Batista

Between Batista and James, there is a lot of fabric to cut, there are many details between them that are not known, but what is evident is that they do not get along well.

She once stated that before partnering with him she would hit his head with bricks. Furthermore, Batista placed nude photos of her on the locker room walls, even he said he would resign if she was not fired.

It is not known what caused this relationship between them, but the truth is surprising that two professionals behave that way.

4 Ric Flair Wanted Mickie James To Train Charlotte

The legendary Ric Flair had in mind that Mickie James (in the company of Lisa Marie Varon) trained his daughter, Charlotte Flair. Ric considered James to be the best in the company and so he wanted her to personally teach her daughter some moves.

Mickie got to train her on NXT, but not too much since Charlotte was injured and they couldn't train 100%. For Mickie, this was quite an honor, and the truth is that training someone with legendary blood is quite a feat.

3 She Never Had A Problem With Nikki Bella

Most people thought that Mickie James had a grudge against Nikki Bella for dating John Cena, but actually Mickie acted very maturely and professionally, never having a problem with her.

In fact, at some point Mickie declared that it would be incredible to share the ring with Nikki Bella, giving a lesson to all those people who do not surpass their ex-couple and turn love into a battlefield.

A very, very positive point for Mickie James here. Her maturity brought her much more popularity and respect, undoubtedly.

2 Real Friendship With Alicia Fox

James describes Alicia Fox as her road partner, travel partner, and her ride or die. It seems that they were made to be best friends, they are always together in good times and bad times.

Their friendship goes far beyond the ring, or the backstage, their friendship is real and it is daily. Surely many would give anything to have a friendship of this caliber, it is something that is not really seen very often and less in the world of fame.

1 She Is Really Nice

Mickie James was very problematic in the backstage due to incorrectly touching people and not making good impressions with her peers, however, she showed that people can change.

There are no juicy stories about her behavior behind the scenes anymore and fans only have good things to say about his encounters with her. We are talking about a huge change in her personality, luckily, she changed for the better.

Well, one of the greatest wrestlers of all time couldn't have a hateful personality.
