Mickie James joining OVW in creative director & executive producer role
Posted: Jan 12th 2024 By: Josh Nason
Mickie James has a new wrestling home: Ohio Valley Wrestling.
First reported by Fightful on Thursday, the five-time WWE Women's Champion and five-time Impact/TNA Knockouts Champion will become OVW's creative director, head of female talent, and executive producer for all of the company's shows.
James confirmed the news in a tweet on Thursday afternoon:
OVW, the former developmental territory for WWE from 2000-2008, rose to some prominence in 2023 when the Netflix docuseries "Wrestlers" on both the company's history and a look at their current behind-the-scenes situation debuted. It has not been announced whether it will return for a second season. They also have a weekly live TV show in addition to pay-per-views.
Last November, it was reported that James was taking a break from Impact/TNA while remaining on good terms with her longtime home. The 44-year-old hasn't wrestled since failing to defeat Trinity for the Knockouts title at last October's Bound for Glory.
James wrestled in OVW from 2004 through 2006 when she was known as Alexis Laree.
