Mickie James Undergoes Surgery to Treat Staph Infection
In what should explain her recent in-ring absences, Mickie James just broke the news on her Twitter that she underwent surgery on Monday, accompanying her tweets with a picture of wrapped up right leg. PWInsider reports that the cause was a staph infection, which doctors have been working to clear out with this and a previous procedure.

In Video: WWE Releases Video Packages on Maryse & Mickie James

Mickie James on Music: Starting Over as a Singer, Interesting Comment Relating to Maria’s Release
Former WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James, speaking about her upcoming CD release 'Strangers & Angels', comments on why she 'started over' as a country music singer even though she already has a successful career in wrestling:

SmackDown Redux (February 26th, 2010): A Modern Day Diva Screwjob
Earlier this week, WWE announced that the victim of the 'original screwjob', Wendi Richter would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April. Coincidence, then, that in the same week another Diva is the victim of a modern day screwjob. That Diva is Mickie James, a who woman who seemingly had the odds stacked against her this week on SmackDown. See the drama unfold below:
The odds didn't look good last week, when Vickie Guerrero announced that Mickie would defend her Women's Champio...
SmackDown Redux (February 20th, 2010): A Bit of This, A Bit of That
After concentrating on a single storyline for the past few months, this week's SmackDown felt more in line with the mixed bag that we once saw on SmackDown pre-Diva Trade. There was a little bit of this mixed with a little bit of that and it just felt like WWE were trying to accomplish all too much with the Divas without any real substance to it ala a time when we had Michelle/Melina, Maria/Ziggler and Maria/Melina. It may seem cool to indulge in all of the Divas but after growing accustomed...

Listen to it below:
The track is almost country-rock, a big difference from the Taylor Swift pop-country route I expected Mickie to go. I'm getting a Miley Cyrus vibe from Mickie's voice -- loud, shouty and garish. I can't say this is working for...
