Mickie James is an American professional wrestler and valet, who is better known by her former stage name Alexis Laree. After wrestling on the independent circuit for years, James was signed to a developmental contract by World Wrestling Entertainment in October 2003. In October 2005 she was promoted to the main roster and assigned to the RAW brand.
October 2003 would mark a new calling for James, however. After appearing on several PPVs for NWA-TNA, she finally caught the attention of World Wrestling Entertainment. She was signed to a developmental contract and immediately sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in Louisville, Kentucky to begin training. In early 2004 she started making television appearances for the promotion and has been regularly included in storylines including feuds with Jillian Hall, Melina, Trudi Denucci, Nikita, Passion, Shaniqua, Melissa Coates, Ms. Blu, Beth Phoenix, & Shelly.
Although they never crossed paths as part of The Gathering, James and CM Punk were briefly united as a new team in WWE, with James serving as Punk's valet for a taping of WWE HEAT in Cleveland, Ohio on July 25, 2005. The match was not aired, and plans to team the two together were abandoned. She made her debut proper on the October 10, 2005 episode of WWE RAW under her real name, and was billed as an obsessed fan of Trish Stratus coming to her rescue following an attack on Stratus by Victoria. A similar storyline featuring Tori and then-WWF Women's Champion Sable took place in 1998 and 1999. On the October 17, 2005 episode of RAW, James competed in her first WWE-televised match, a tag match with Ashley Massaro and Stratus against Victoria, Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson which ended when Victoria pinned James.
James took part in a "Fulfill Your Fantasy" Diva battle royal for the WWE Women's Championship at Taboo Tuesday 2005, ensuring that Stratus would retain her title by sacrificing herself in order to eliminate Victoria.
