Mickie James has revealed she was offended by the WWE storyline, which involved Alexa Bliss. Back in 2017, the two were engaged in a feud, and Bliss was seen making fun of James' age most of the time.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE Superstar claimed such storylines promoted ageism, and that was something she wanted to avoid. Mickie James said,

"I could never wrap my head around and find it funny that I'm given a walker [on RAW in 2017]. It's bullsh*t and it's not funny. I was offended and I said that I was offended. But I am a professional, and as a pro you go, 'Fine and let's see what happens.' 9 times out of 10 I was right, but it's already happened. I had to do it just to prove a point. I feel like you should trust me enough, at this point, to know I am not an idiot. I am looking at it through the lens of our audience and where they're at now."
