Mickie commented on in it two tweets.
"I came all the way to Windsor to defend the IMPACT WRESTLING Knockouts World Championship against Jordynne Grace at #Sacrifice. Now I can’t do that and I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry to let you all down. This. This was supposed to be a MOTY night."
"Injuries happen, frustrated, but I’ll be fine. I certainly didn’t come all this way, to a #Soldout house, to not see my #HardcoreCanada LIVE! I will be at @IMPACTWRESTLING
#Sacrifice & I will address my injury & the future of the Knockouts Championship then. Thank you."
