{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) legend Mickie James will appear at Bound for Glory next weekend as the company prepares for its biggest show of the year.
During "Impact" on Thursday, TNA aired a vignette that showed an older logo on a crate. When the crate opened, a strong beam of light appeared. When the light went dark, a white cowgirl hat and a denim jacket appeared. A woman took the hat and placed it on her head.

James’ "Hardcore Country" entrance theme played and fans knew exactly who was in the video.
The legendary women’s wrestler had multiple stints in TNA. She joined the company initially in 2002 while TNA was under the National Wrestling Alliance banner. She worked there for about a year before moving to WWE.
James returned to TNA in 2010, immediately getting into a feud with Madison Rayne. She defeated Rayne to win the TNA Knockouts Championship in April 2011, becoming the first woman in pro wrestling history to hold the TNA Knockouts Championship, WWE Women’s Championship and WWE Divas Championship. She’s a five-time Knockouts champion.
