In the tumultuous world of WWE, ‘Michin’ Mia Yim has been facing a series of challenges over the past few months. Despite her resilience, the Blasian Baddie recently suffered another setback on WWE SmackDown, leading to a candid and emotional backstage moment.
Returning to action after a month-long hiatus, Michin clashed with Tiffany Stratton on last Friday’s SmackDown. The electrifying Dallas crowd roared for Stratton as the two engaged in a back-and-forth battle.
However, Michin faced defeat after Stratton executed an impressive Prettiest Moonsault Ever.
In an exclusive backstage interview with Byron Saxton, Michin expressed her emotional turmoil, unsure of her next steps and venting her frustrations.
The Blasian Baddie’s struggle became even more apparent in a recent post on her social media account, where she shared a poignant quote in response to online trolls.
“‘Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.’ A quote I have to remember every time I get on social media,”
Michin wrote, emphasizing the importance of filtering out negativity and staying focused on constructive feedback.
Michin Mia Yim’s recent challenges extend beyond the ring, as she has not secured a victory since the December 12th edition of SmackDown. The departure of AJ Styles from The O.C. further impacted her, marking a challenging start to the year.
Reflecting on a more optimistic time a few months ago, Michin Mia Yim had shared positive sentiments about the situation between AJ Styles and The O.C. during an interview with WWE’s The Bump in January.
"Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from." A quote I have to remember everytime I get on social media.

Despite Styles’ “evil phase,” she believed that families go through ups and downs but ultimately grow stronger together.
“I know AJ is going through some evil ways… we’re going through our lows right now, but I know we’ll be coming back stronger together,”
she had said.
Meanwhile, AJ Styles has seemingly moved on from The O.C. and is now targeting LA Knight, adding further complexity to the ever-evolving WWE landscape.
His actions at Elimination Chamber: Perth, where he interfered in Knight’s match, exemplify the ongoing drama within the WWE universe. As Michin Mia Yim grapples with her challenges, the unpredictable nature of the wrestling world continues to shape her journey.
