Mickie James made her return to WWE (on the main roster) for the first time in six years on SmackDown tonight, being revealed as the person behind “La Luchadora” after she interfered in the Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch steel cage main event, costing Becky Lynch the match.
As noted earlier, Mickie James had been expected to return to the main roster any day now after recently signing a two year deal with WWE and working very briefly in NXT a couple of months ago, losing to Asuka in a match for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver: Toronto November 19.
WWE posted a video of Mickie James’s return at the end of the Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch match.
