Former WWE Champion Mickie James Hints Wrestling Return Amid Hall of Fame Induction

Mickie James, a five-time WWE Women’s Champion recently inducted into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame, has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of returning to in-ring competition despite holding high-profile executive roles in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Ridge Holland, an injured WWE star whose contract expires in November 2025, is set to make his first post-WWE appearance at the GCW Dream On Fan Slam under his real name, Luke Menzies, although his recovery from foot and potential neck surgeries will delay any wrestling return. Meanwhile, Santos Escobar, whose WWE contract briefly expired in October 2025, has re-signed with the company and was seen attending a recent Monday Night Raw event, signaling his imminent return to WWE programming. WWE continues to prepare for high-profile matches on Raw, including CM Punk versus Jey Uso and an Intercontinental Title contender match, highlighting a period of active roster adjustments and notable returns within the wrestling industry.
