Reigning Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Mickie James provided an update on her injury status at Friday night’s Impact Sacrifice pay-per-view event.
On Friday night’s Impact! Plus show, it was announced that James is dealing with a broken rib and is hopeful about defending the title at Rebellion in April.
Impact’s Director of Authority Santino Marella revealed that Jordynne Grace will get a title shot at Rebellion against the winner of the Miyu Yamashita vs. Masha Slamovich vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. Gisele Shaw match at Multiverse United, and that James will be in the match if she is cleared. Otherwise, James will have to relinquish the Impact Knockouts Championship, which will then be awarded to the winner of the Rebellion title match.
