* PutOnABus: To Wrestling/{{TNA}}, following an incident on an overseas tour. Ironically the incident in question involved a bus.[[note]]She caused several tour buses to be late to the arena[[/note]] WWE.com eventually came up with an explanation for Mickie's departure months later in an article where they said LayCool and their taunting caused her to have a breakdown and eventually leave.

* GroinAttack: Did this to ''Wrestling/TrishStratus'' at Wrestlemania 22. However, unlike every time this had been done before in pro wrestling, this was meant as sexual, topped off by her licking in between her fingers to a huge pop from the crowd. It was edited out of the [=DVD=] release because [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince McMahon]] just didn't like it.

* TheRival: Melina Perez in WWE. The two were enemies from the start, there were times Mickie would try to be civil Melina was unreceptive up until Mickie put her health on the line to protect Melina from Victoria and Natalya but their new found friendship did not keep them from ending up as opponents every so often. Prior to WWE Mickie was rivals with Jillain Hall ever since Mickie won a $1000 prize match in OVW and post WWE it continued in the NWA as Hall goes out of her way to show up Mickie and undermine her music career.
