The reveal which probably started a program between Becky Lynch and the returning Mickie James on SmackDown last night (Jan. 17) was a little underwhelming, but the Lasskicker immediately made up for that with her STRAIGHT FIRE promo in a Fallout video.
Now, the two are chirping back and forth on Twitter to build off the foundation Bex laid down.

More roots than a forest, but that won't stop me from leave-ing you with a broken arm. @MickieJames @WWE @JCLayfield

They’ve still got some ‘splaining to do regarding why James would play a supporting role to champion Alexa Bliss, but there are several concise, logical explanations for that. The important thing is they’re immediately reminding us how great heel Mickie is. Setting her opposite the WWE’s best babyface in Lynch, and considering both women are fantastic wrestlers...
This is gonna be good.
