Mickie James Reveals WWE Gave Her Pitched Ideas To Other Wrestlers

Mickie James has revealed WWE would use her pitched ideas for other wrestlers.

James, the current IMPACT Knockouts Champion, returned to WWE in 2017 but was released earlier this year as part of the company's budget related cuts.

While James did not disclose details about certain ideas, she admitted that creative teams had turned down her good ideas in the past only to then use the same idea for another talent.

Speaking with Metro, James said: "There’s been a lot of times where I’ve pitched ideas and they’ve gone to somebody else. Or, I’ve pitched ideas and I thought they were really good, and they – that’s always the most disheartening thing, when you pitch an idea and you know and believe it’s really good and they kind of ho-hum it, or they’ll thumbs down it a bit, but then they used the exact same idea for someone else.”

"There’s a lot of stuff and I don’t sit here and like to give away all the stuff behind the scenes because there’s a bit of magic to it but at the end of the day, I’ve been in wrestling for a very long time. So, I’ve seen that and had it happen to me a fair about of times.

"I just hope that when those ideas, if they’re used on someone else, that that person can either deliver better than I was going to – which a lot of times they don’t, or sometimes they do – or that they tell it the right away. Or tell it in a way that means something to the people."
