WWE 2K18: 10 Superstars Who Could Make Their Franchise Debut
3. Mickie James
Mickie James was a stalwart in SmackDown Vs. RAWs 2007-11 but hasn't appeared in a WWE video game since. This, obviously, is because she hasn't been with the company in a very long time after she was released with the higher-ups letting her know of their desire to "move in a new direction with their women's division." This, presumably, meant moving away from women's wrestling at the time because we all know how good James is, so it's good to see her back in the fold.
Re-debuting as La Luchadora on SmackDown at the start of the year after an impressive one-off outing against Asuka at NXT TakeOver Toronto, Mickie was aligned with Alexa Bliss but after that relationship died she's been left floundering ever since. To show you how under the radar she's became recently, Mickie left SmackDown a heel and turned up on RAW as a face during the recent Superstar Shakeup... nobody knows why.
This reduced role as part of the Women's Evolution at the moment might cost her a place on WWE 2K18 so I suppose we'll have to wait and see on this one.
