Mickie James address Becky Lynch and the “Women’s Revolution”
Renee Young introduced the newest member of the SmackDown Live roster, Mickie James. Renee began interviewing her, asking her “Why?”. Mickie James asked Renee if she knew that she won her first championship against Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania 22.
Mickie began running down her resumé. Renee told Mickie James that she avoided her question, after which Mickie began ranting about how the women of the current revolution acted like they were the first female athletes in WWE.
When Renee asked about her association with Alexa Bliss, Mickie said that Alexa remembered everything she did and that if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t be back. Mickie then said, “forget about the revolution, this is about the reinvention of Mickie James”.
Becky Lynch had heard enough, and came down and started a beat down on Mickie. Mickie jumped over the barricade, but as Becky did the same, Alexa Bliss came out of nowhere and struck Becky. The duo then assaulted the former SamckDown Women’s champion.
Mickie told a beat down Becky that she needed to learn from Alexa that she should always be one step ahead.
