Ever since Michin aka Mia Yim made her return to WWE in 2022, she has been presented as one of the most regular stars of the women’s division of WWE. Yim previously had an seven year run in WWE, where she spent most of her time in the NXT which is the developmental territory of WWE.
She was brought into the main roster for the first time in 2020 where she played the role of Reckoning; a member of Mustafa Ali’s Retribution faction. But much like Vince McMahon’s latter day bookings, Retribution was poorly booked, and ultimately, the faction was destroyed with Yim’s WWE potentials.
Michin Reveals Her Present Role in WWE and How She Feels Doing It
She could not go much further after the death of Retribution as she was released from the promotion in November 2021. Triple H brought her back in 2022 and since then she is doing an outstanding job. She was recently interviewed by Jimmy Varsallone where she discussed present status in WWE;
Michin is Presently Active in Smackdown
“A lot of people are like, ‘You should train people.’ I don’t have the patience for it [laughs]. If they ask, going down to NXT, that really opened my eyes to seeing the talent down there and them wanting to learn from me. To me, I still have the mentality that I’m still ‘lil’ ol’ Mia Yim, who am I?’
Michin is Also a Member of the Famous WWE Faction OC
“For them to come to me and ask me questions like, ‘What do you think about this?’ and be giving them suggestions. I would never open up a school, but if I have somebody come up to me, ‘Hey, can you watch my match? Can you give me feedback?’ Things like that, I’m more than happy to do that.”
Michin also thanked Triple H for the opportunities she got her return to the promotion. Check out the details here.
Yim participated in the WWE Women’s United States Championship tournament. Despite reaching the final of the tournament, she lost to Chelsea Green in the final. It sparked backlash among the fans for not giving Yim the title, but it is believed that sooner or later, Yim will taste championship success in WWE.
