WWE recently confirmed that they will be bringing in IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match on January 29th.
James will be joining a number of WWE Hall of Famers and current Superstars in the massive bout, which fans believe is the opening of the ‘forbidden door’ for WWE.
Some fans also believe that WWE has struck a deal with IMPACT as a way of getting back at All Elite Wrestling, but this does not appear to be the case.
According to a new report from Ringside News, the deal between IMPACT and WWE was struck for much different reasons.
“We were told that the conspiracy theory of WWE working with Impact Wrestling to get back at AEW is not accurate” RSN reported. “WWE’s deal with Impact Wrestling came along for much different reasons.”
