Mickie James posted two tweets that offered some clarity about her mindset regarding her career at this stage.
On August 8, when a fan on Twitter wondered whether she’d be Asuka’s partner in the tournament for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament, James responded and stated that she feels like she’s done in wrestling.
No. I feel I’m done in wrestling. But you can #watchalong with me & @RealNickAldis tonight on @millionsdotco !!! https://t.co/AVOPZCLa5D

The veteran followed up with another tweet on August 10. When one fan stated that she’s too good to retire, James wondered whether she has anything left to prove or do. Instead, she’d prefer to shout “Women’s Wrestling Matters” from the top of the mountain.
I appreciate you. Honestly I’ve been so blessed & love my fans so much! I wouldn’t have had all this without you. What is left for me to prove anymore? What else can I do? Id rather bow out screaming “Womens Wrestling Matters” from the top of the mountain than the valley. ♥️ https://t.co/D2rpLgPjVF
