Mickie James has started 2022 off in style, kicking things off by defending her Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship in a Texas Death Match against Deonna Purrazzo, which also happened to be the first women’s main event in an Impact Wrestling pay-per-view. Then she crossed through the Forbidden Door into WWE’s Royal Rumble with her Knockouts Championship in tow. That’s a great year for some, but James is only getting started, and now she looks to retain her Knockouts Championship against Tasha Steelz at No Surrender this weekend. ComicBook.com had a chance to speak to James all about No Surrender and her year so far, including taking on Chelsea Green on the most recent episode of Impact.
