For the last few months, Triple H has been working to rebuild the WWE women's roster. He's brought back several superstars that were either released from the company or left on their own accord, including Emma (FKA Tenille Dashwood), Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. Tonight, the WWE brought back yet another superstar: none other than Mia Yim.
Mia Yim was released from WWE in November 2021. After spending some time in NXT, Mia Yim became part of the infamous Retribution stable under the name "Reckoning." When the stable dissolved, she fell into limbo within the company's booking and was cast aside. Now, though, Yim has the chance to rewrite her story in WWE.
The O.C.'s Answer To Rhea Ripley
Finn Balor and the Judgment Day have been a thorn in AJ Styles' side for the last few weeks. His tag team partners, the Good Brothers, made their WWE return to come to AJ's aid in his fight against Judgment Day. However, they couldn't solve the problem that was Rhea Ripley; since the O.C. only consists of men, they couldn't lay hands on Rhea Ripley (despite her being able to physically attack them).
The O.C. needed a female ally to help them handle Rhea Ripley, and Mia Yim has answered the call. It's unclear at the moment whether Mia Yim will become a full-time member of the O.C. or if she's just around them to help get Judgement Day off their backs.
In any case, Mia Yim's return is good news for the WWE's women division. Their roster was gutted due to the excessive amount of releases during the last two years, and talent like Mia Yim will help to build it back up.
