Former WWE Women's Champion and Divas Champion Mickie James and 5 other Superstars were released from their contracts with the WWE today. James, who debuted in the WWE in 2005, is a five-time Women's Champion, and is the second woman to hold both championships.

Even though James is also a former TNA employee, she may actually have something else on the back burner- a career in country music. Her album, Strangers and Angels, will be available on May 18. You can hear her song, "Are You With Me" on country radio stations now, or listen to a sample on her website.

Katie Lea Burchill, Shelton Benjamin, Kung Fu Naki, Slam Master J (Jesse) and Jimmy Wang Yang are the others who are no longer working with the WWE today. Benjamin is the biggest shock out of the remainder. He is a former Tag Team Champion (with Charlie Haas) and former Intercontinental Champion. I have no doubt that if he wishes to join TNA, he will do pretty well.
