James could be in one of her best and most impressive moods right now as her Hard to Kill appearance came in less than 24 hours after announcing her WWE Royal Rumble participation, making her the first woman in the history of both promotions to cross what's called the Forbidden Doors between the WWE and Impact (Previously known as TNA: Total Non-Stop Action).
