Mickie James Dealing With Shoulder Injury As Well As Broken Rib

Mickie James recently revealed that she was dealing with a broken rib, plunging the Knockouts World Champion’s status heading into IMPACT Rebellion on April 16 into severe doubt.

James is hoping to be cleared in time for the show, with Jordynne Grace vs. Deonna Purrazzo for the title lined up in case the champ isn’t fit in time. However, it seems that the hill to climb grows steeper for James, as James and Tommy Dreamer revealed on Busted Open Radio that Mickie is suffering with a shoulder injury as well as her rib issues:

“If I can peel the curtain back a little bit. You all like when we do it. Mickie James and I, we’re wrestling Bully Ray and Masha Slamovich. That whole weekend, she had three matches. The first night was against… Do you remember?” Began Dreamer.

“The first night, was the championship match against Masha,” added James before Dreamer continued:

“The whole night, she’s in the back. She could barely move her arm. She’s saying, ‘I think I tore my pec’ and she still went out there and tagged, me and her versus Bully and Masha. She put on an amazing performance like she always does. She has a slight tear in her shoulder, broke three rib caps over that weekend and wrestled Friday, Saturday and Sunday so, these are the things that people don’t know that she does and it was a really, really hard decision because at the same time, we lost Josh Alexander to a torn tricep and Mickie said, ‘I’m going to be back by the next pay-per-view and if I’m not, then you can take the title off of me.’ So, think of that people. It’s pretty impressive,” said Dreamer.
