Many wrestling fans would remember the 10-time World Champion, who contributed a lot to changing the portrayal of women in the wrestling industry. Even though she is currently not a part of WWE, her name is carved in the promotion’s history as a great wrestler.

After her WWE run, Mickie James has now challenged one popular name in wrestling, Sasha Banks, to fight with her.

She asked the former WWE superstar to be her opponent on the last stretch of her career called ‘The Last Rodeo’. But the main question is, will Banks reach out to her to accept the challenge or not?
