James’ manager Mary Michael released the following statement to Diva-Dirt.com dismissing rumors that her client has signed with TNA Wrestling: “To lay the rumors to rest, as of yet I can confirm that Mickie James has not signed a deal with TNA.”

Last night at WWE Summerslam, Melina defeated Alicia Fox to capture the Divas Championship. In the midst of celebrating the win, self-proclaimed “Co-Women’s Champions” Michelle McCool and Layla came out to join in the moment. Melina didn’t appreciate it, and in the midst of a brawl was taken down by Team LayCool. It seems to me that this could be the possible beginning of a Title Unification Match at the next pay per view, Night Of Champions. Here’s my reasons why I think it should happen, and who the participants should be.

1.) The Divas Roster is thin. It’s been obvious in the past year so far that the Divas Roster on both shows is seriously lacking in giving the crowds and fans any real entertainment/competition. The majority of the Divas are either too green, injured, not wrestling, or simply not over.

On RAW, the WWE attempted a big push in both Eve and Alicia Fox while Melina was out to no success, which completely explains the quick timing in which both became champions. Maryse seems to be the only solidly recognized heel, and she hasn’t been wrestling much due to the push with Ted DiBiase. The WWE seems to be unwilling to give Gail Kim a real solid push as well, and with Natalya’s place as valet/manager of The Hart Dynasty, she hasn’t been pushed as a wrestler either.

Former WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James weighed in on a number of topics in an interview with The Baltimore Sun including her recent departure from World Wrestling Entertainment, the Piggy James storyline, her music career, and more.

James says she hasn’t watching wrestling on television since being released in April, noting it’s much too difficult.

“I didn’t watch wrestling. I still haven’t seen a wrestling show and it’s been three months,” James said. “The only show I’ve watched was right after I was released and they were chanting, ‘We want Mickie, we want Mickie.’ And I started bawling. It just really broke me, so I didn’t know what I wanted to do. So, I started doing some dates. It’s definitely a different feel. Once you’ve wrestled in front of 90,000 people, where do you go from there?”

Regarding her release, she feels the company wanted to go in a different direction with the women’s division. She also says she didn’t understand their decision at the time, but now recognizes the writing on the wall.

“I just think it was the different direction of the Divas. No one can give 100 percent all the time and they can surely try. Looking back, if I take myself from the picture, there was writing on the wall and if I wasn’t so indulged in the business, I would have seen it,” James said. “I never would have shut that chapter on my own. I never would have cut that string on my own, so maybe they had to shut that door on me for to fully focus on my music, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.”

On the topic of the Piggy James storyline, she noted being more upset with its conclusion than the angle itself. She also remains unsure whether company officials were poking fun at her weight.

“I don’t know where it came from. Were they ribbing me or just poking fun? I sat back and prayed about it. There’s still not one female that can go out there and get a reaction I can,” James said. “And maybe they were trying to pull the fanbase away from me, but I got the championship, then they took it away. After six months of embarrassment and ridicule, that’s the payoff? I had to swallow my pride.”

James also discusses her music career and notes plans for a second album and road tour.
