Mickie James On Vacating The Impact Knockouts Title – ‘It’s Heartbreaking’

In a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Mickie James addressed her decision to vacate the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship last week due to injury.

The vacant title was eventually won by Deonna Purrazzo who beat Jordynne Grace in the decisive match at Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay-per-view event.

James said, “It is heartbreaking. It’s not how I wanted this whole thing to end, for sure. I’m so grateful for everything and these matches I’ve had. It’s been some of my best stuff ever. I’ve had so much fun and I really tested myself and had some of the best matches I think I’ve ever had. The women now are incredible, and that’s just it. I don’t know. I’m a bit heartbroken and sad, but it’s okay. I’m so grateful for my career.“
