Mickie James makes TNA return at No Surrender, confronts champions
Wrestling veteran Mickie James shocked fans when she made her surprising TNA return at No Surrender in Nashville, Tennessee.
In the fourth match of the night, The Elegance Brand (Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance) defeated Indi Hartwell and Xia Brookside to retain their Knockouts tag titles.
Shortly after the match, fans witnessed TNA Hall of Famer Mickie James make a surprising return before shifting her focus to Ash by Elegance. However, as James attacked her, The Elegance Brand made the save and ganged up on the veteran. However, Hartwell and Brookside soon came to James’ aid.
James, 46, has not wrestled since July, 2025, when she defeated Mila Smidt to win the ABC Women’s title. James is also a five-time TNA/Impact Knockouts World Champion and was even inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at Bound for Glory 2025. Her last TNA/Impact match dates back to 2023, where she suffered a defeat against Trinity/Naomi.
