Mia Yim says she’s honored to be part of The OC.

Yim previously starred in NXT, and she was called up to the main roster as part of Retribution in 2020. After the group split up, Yim was drafted to Raw, but she didn’t make any appearances on TV before her release on November 4, 2021. After she spent a few months with IMPACT Wrestling, Yim returned to WWE on the November 7 episode of RAW and aligned with The OC (AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, and Karl Anderson).

Speaking with Rick Ucchino for Cageside Seats, Yim discussed her alliance with the group. She stated that she has history with the three men, and she also made it clear that being part of the stable is an honor. Yim went on to note that aligning with the trio was probably the best way for her to return because working with them keeps her calm.

“I just wanted to be me. I just wanted to come back and showcase what I’ve been doing for over a decade. And with The OC, we’ve never been close before, but we’ve always known each other. We’ve worked with each other in other companies. I was rooting for AJ in his UpUpDownDown Championship battle with [Tyler] Breeze. Like, we have history. The OC, The Bullet Club, those are like monumental groups in wrestling. So to be a part of The OC, it’s such an honor, like just to be a part of that group. But the boys are so cool and so welcoming and they really do feel like brothers and I love them to pieces. This was probably the best way for me to come back because, as nervous as I was, being with them kept me calm, cool, and collected. Like, it really helps being with them,” Yim said.

Yim recently discussed her return to WWE and the addition of the “Michin” nickname. Check out her comments here.

At WWE Survivor Series, Yim will compete in the Women’s WarGames Match. Fans can see the updated card for the show here.
