More on Michelle McCool replacing Mickie James on LFG.
Added 2025-03-06 17:25:03 +0000 UTCWWE LFG has been renewed for season 2, but with some changes.
It was revealed that upcoming WWE Hall of Famer Michelle McCool will replace Mickie James on the series, leading many to question why that is happening.
Sources close to A&E production claimed to Fightful that The Undertaker was instrumental on getting his wife on the show. The claim from that those close to the series say that Undertaker was open to continuing the show if Michelle McCool was involved, so she was brought in to replace Mickie James.
It is important to note, that we have not heard anything claiming that Undertaker specifically wanted Mickie James off the show or wanted Michelle McCool to actively replace Mickie James. Just that he wanted Michelle involved.

2025-03-08 02:23:02 +0000 UTCSometimes I wonder if the trash bag incident even happened or if I made it up in my head lol

2025-03-08 02:21:32 +0000 UTCMaybe WWE just wants to be able to check a box, not surpass the bar or anything

2025-03-07 04:56:41 +0000 UTCWhy should it have been one or the other? Why couldn't they both do it? Either way, it's blatantly obvious he's the sole reason why this happened.

2025-03-07 01:45:23 +0000 UTCExactly this! The implication seems to be that Taker didn’t ask for or expect Mickie to be replaced. But I guess even in 2025, some things don’t change for women in wrestling

2025-03-07 00:19:40 +0000 UTCExactly this I suspect. When your partner is also an employee, you’ve gotta make decisions with both in mind. Saying no to a return may sour them on him.

2025-03-07 00:18:19 +0000 UTCMichelle McCool is a DEI hire and a nepotism favor hire. At no point has she been anywhere near the talent of a Mickie James, what is she going teach these people?

2025-03-06 23:23:47 +0000 UTCGee, I wonder who got her in the HOF despite being the face of one of the worst eras of the WWE women's division.

2025-03-06 18:41:55 +0000 UTCDon't know why Mickie went back in the first place after the previous regime fired her and dumped her stuff in a bin bag. Maybe it was going to be better with her partner in the company.

2025-03-06 18:34:10 +0000 UTCSo a wrestler who worked at every level of pro wrestling since the late 90s, doing the stripper style indies like WEW, ROH as a valet, TNA as a henchman for one run and a champion in another, working in both the WWE divas and modern eras. And she's replaced by someone who was in WWE for 8 years and didn't wrestle too much during her first 3.
