Michin Suffers Shoulder Injury, WWE Plans Adjust for Cargill Feud
A promising run for WWE SmackDown star Michin, also known as Mia Yim, has been unexpectedly halted by a shoulder injury sustained during the recent holiday tour. This unfortunate setback will impact her early 2025 schedule and potentially alter storylines heading into the new year.
Michin announced her early departure from the tour via Instagram, expressing gratitude for the fun she had while hinting at a temporary absence with a simple “BRB.” While she didn’t detail the specifics of the injury, the news has prompted adjustments to upcoming matches.
Injury Details & Tour Impact
Reports indicate Michin suffered a shoulder injury,the extent of which remains undisclosed. She has been removed from the remainder of the holiday tour, where she was actively competing against WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. Their last match took place on December 27th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I’ve found that injuries during live events are always a concern, especially with the demanding schedule WWE athletes maintain. Michin’s last appearance on SmackDown was a tag team loss with B-Fab to Giulia and Kiana James on September 26th, followed by a match against James on ”WWE Main event” on Halloween.
What This Means for cargill & Future Plans
Currently,plans are in motion to replace Michin in her scheduled matches with Cargill on the holiday tour. Tho, the future of their developing feud on smackdown remains uncertain.
Their rivalry has been building through intense backstage segments and in-ring confrontations. You may recall Cargill previously laid out Michin backstage, then dominated her in the ring when Michin sought retribution. The two were slated to clash in a televised match for the WWE women’s Championship on the January 2nd, 2026 episode of SmackDown.
Here’s a quick recap of the situation:
* Injury: Shoulder injury sustained during the holiday tour.
* Tour Status: Removed from remaining tour dates.
* Feud Impact: Ongoing feud with Jade Cargill is potentially disrupted.
* Championship Match: Scheduled championship match on SmackDown is now in question.
As of now, WWE has not announced any specific changes to the championship match or the overall direction of the feud. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available. It’s a tough break for michin, but I’m confident she’ll work diligently on her recovery and return to the ring stronger than ever.
