The official X account of USA Network shared a throwback post to the 2006 Survivor Series match between Mickie James and Lita. The post received a reply from James, saying she loved the storyline behind the encounter as well as the stipulations it carried. The five-time WWE Women's Champion and one-time Divas Champion also expressed regret over not having a long rivalry with Lita instead of retiring her.

“I always loved this whole story leading up to here. The shackles; the blindfold; the one arm behind my back. I had looked forward to sharing the ring & screen with @AmyDumas for a very long time and was worth all the beatings. My only regret was that it didn’t last longer, and the bittersweet end of an era. ♥️.”

The 46-year-old noted that she wasn’t as personally hurt by the incident. Moreover, James also said that she was released the same way back in April 2010. She also expressed sadness over the firing of Mark Carrano, the talent relations manager, who was let go because of this incident.

While she may not hold any grudges about the incident now, back in 2021, it didn’t sit right with James, and she went public about it on X. Speaking with CVV, she revealed that Vince McMahon had apologized to her personally for the incident during a phone call. Several other wrestlers also came out with their trash bag stories after James.
