Mickie James Is Injured
– WWE Raw Diva Mickie James is currently suffering from a hyperextended elbow, which has caused her some discomfort and numbness. Due to the injury, she’s being used sparingly, but still working because WWE heavily relies on her to help layout the matches, keep the matches going and the fans interested at shows. James is expected to be given some time off from house shows as a result. The injury occurred during the recent European tour, which is why she was taken out of matches except as referee or timekeeper. James believes she is okay enough to work, but officials are being careful as she is invaluable to the division. Trainers feel she should rest another week or two before moving back into regular action.

Mickie James, as you can read for yourself, was injured during the European tour a few weeks ago. That would explain why she was booked in short matches, or sometimes no matches, at recent events. I will admit that I incorrectly believed that was due to the misuse of Mickie, but that still does not explain why she was being pushed aside before the tour. I will not go into that further now.
It shows the passion Mickie has that she wants to work through the injury. I can honestly say I did not see any pain or discomfort from her when she was in the ring during the past few weeks. She endured it like a true professional. It is also good to read that Mickie has some people in the WWE who appreciate her, although she still has powerful adversaries as well. In the end, I hope the injury really is not that serious, Mickie is able to rest up a bit (God knows she has earned it), and that she realizes she has the fans ready and waiting when she is better. God bless her.
