I loved it.
She looked strong, and got the last laugh on McCool finally giving some closure to that 12 year old storyline.
Addtionally, Lita eliminating her means that no contracted WWE talent threw her out, so her and Lita could continue to use that as the basis for a storyline/angle to have a one-on-one match at one of her women-centric big events coming up.
Absolutely no notes.

It was pretty solid although I did laugh at them getting the title's name wrong on her graphic. Her elimination was a bit weird though. I always thought the rules for countouts were if you got any part of your body back in the ring, you're in. Here, she got DDTed in the ring so basically half her body got back in and then she was tossed out between the bottom ropes. Either they just didn't think about that (likely) or the rules are that your entire body needs to get back in after going over the top rope which seems a little absurd.

I think that might have been intentional, so that she could say that she was never fairly eliminated.

It went exactly as I expected, 12 minute run with a single elimination and not really doing much. If she was a signed talent you'd have lost track of her and sworn that she got eliminated already.

I thought it would've been great if they did that and had a two month build to Wrestlemania on two different shows with Mickie and either Becky or Charlotte. The problem is, WWE wouldn't co-promote. Even if WWE did co-promote, they wouldn't have been able to allow Mickie to look good with her opponent.

One of the only bright spots of a borderline bad match. Big W for impact as their champion came off like a bigger star than pretty much any non-Ronda woman on the roster.

I thought it went about as well as it could've. Surreal to see her not only come out with the Impact belt and her Impact ring gear, but also had "Hardcore Country" as her theme. I also liked that she eliminated Michelle McCool, especially since I don't remember her ever getting her comeuppance for the Piggy James garbage.

Personally, it was better than expected. I was kinda waiting for her to get the Ivory treatment tbh. But she stayed in there long enough to eliminate McCool and looked decent when she was in there which is more than I expected so I'm ok with it personally.

She eliminated a legend who made fun of her back in the day, and was eliminated by a legend. Fair. She didn't go over a current talent or lose to a current talent so the current product doesn't put one company above the other.

For as trash as the rumble overall was , they did pretty well by Mickie...she got a great pop , got to come out as Impact Mickie theme an all with the knockouts title.
I mean can't ask much more than that for a champion from another company other than making it to the final 4.

Didn’t Mickie James squash her at a PPV (want to say Royal Rumble) to cap off that storyline?

YEah she squashed Layla and Michelle at a ppv which was supposed to be the capper of the feud... however, she did lose it back to Michelle a few weeks later due to an injury.

She was great. I marked out that she had the Impact title. So surreal.

Hell all things considered she had a more memorable run than Sasha.
