We just reported further on 17 names reportedly signed for the upcoming Mae Young Classic Women’s Tournament in the WWE, but today the WWE themselves announced the first four competitors for the tournament. While two of them were on the list reported the other day – Sarah Logan (formerly Crazy Mary Dobson) and NXT’s Lacey Evans – the other two were not, although one was highly rumoured. Here’s a closer look at the other two names announced for the tournament, which begins filming in one month.
First 4 Names CONFIRMED for Mae Young Classic
TONI STORM
28 years old, Auckland, New Zealand
Toni Storm took part in the PROGRESS showcase at WrestleMania Axxess this year, which lead many to speculate she was being scouted for the tournament, so it’s no surprise she’s one of the first announced. She’s one of the top female competitors in the world right now, as she’s the current reigning PROGRESS Women’s Champion and Stardom SWA World Champion, as well as a former Women’s Champion with Impact Pro Wrestling in Australia.
