Mia Yim discusses short-term goals in WWE and her desire to work with some names from her time in WWE NXT on the main roster.
"Michin" Mia Yim returned to WWE ahead of WWE Survivor Series 2022. As a member of The OC, Yim has been a fixture of the Raw roster participating in big-time bouts like WarGames. Now that she is back, Mia Yim tells Denise Salcedo she feels a warm sense of camaraderie with the women on the roster because of her connection to them during their time in NXT.
"Oh my gosh, it's a great locker room, like the girls that I grew up with in NXT are now on the main roster, and like, the first day when I came back, and I finally went to the locker room, it was just like, hugs and videos and pictures. It was just nice to just be around Bianca, Rhea, Dakota, and Tamina, Nikki, like all of us are real cool together. I love every single one of them. It's nice being back."
Yim also says that she is looking to redeem her name and potentially work with women like Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler once again.
"Short-term goals, I definitely want to continue roughing it up with the boys. Actually, that's a long-term goal, stay with The OC. They're my boys. Nothing's gonna change about that. I would love to have another feud with Bianca. I would love to get to maybe do something with Shayna again, like the stuff that the feud we had in NXT, bring it to the main roster, but sticking with The OC and doing stuff with them whenever they need help, I'm always there, and long term, I just want to solidify my place in WWE, redeem my name, and have everyone know that I can still go," she said.
As of right now, Yim is not declared for the WWE Royal Rumble. Fans can see the full lineup for the show at this link.
