WWE has renamed Mia Yim.
During the November 21 episode of WWE Raw, Yim was referred to as "Michin", which means "Crazy" in Korean. "Michin" was introduced as Yim's nickname on the November 14 episode of WWE Raw, but now it seems like her name has officially been changed.
Her profile on the WWE website has been changed accordingly
Michin is living proof that hard work and dogged determination pay off. Long considered one of the most talented women in the independent ranks, Michin first turned heads in WWE during the inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017. Her true breakout moment, however, came in the following year’s Classic, when Michin’s gutsy performance in the Quarterfinals earned chants of support from the WWE Universe. Their pleas did not go unanswered, as WWE COO Triple H immediately offered Michin an NXT contract after the match.
Though her arrival to the black-and-yellow brand is undeniably a feel-good story, there’s nothing comforting about Michin’s actions inside the ring. The self-proclaimed “Blasian Baddie,” Michin is a regular training partner of Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke, and boasts an extensive background in both Muay Thai and Taekwondo. Her striking prowess and submission expertise make Michin a threat to be reckoned with, and her foot-to-face capper, Sole Food, is all but guaranteed to spell the end for opponents.
Michin then signed on with Raw during the 2021 WWE Draft.
On the November 7th 2022 edition of Raw, Michin made her return after an absence, proving to be the solution to The O.C.'s Rhea Ripley problem.
It might have taken Michin nearly a decade to get to WWE, but now that she’s a member of the roster, she looks right at home
Michin returned to WWE on the November 7 episode of WWE Raw, and she aligned with The O.C. (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows). She will compete in the Women's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series.
