In a recent Throwing Down podcast interview with Renee and Miesha, Mickie James said she lost her self-confidence at some point in her WWE career.
"Now I'm sitting in a different place and I'm more into my power of trying to figure out what works for me and what I want to do. I've lost my confidence.

IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James recently sat down with Sportskeeda's own Riju Dasgupta to discuss a variety of subjects. When asked who she would like to have to induct her into the WWE Hall of Fame, James first mentioned the name of a current WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus. The former women's champion also added that she had some of the best matches of her career during her second run in WWE.
