Between the announcement of indie stars in Florida, WWE announcements, and a reveal of four entrants by Jim Ross last night on his podcast (where he revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze/Madusa would be joining Lita and himself as the other color commentator on the broadcast team), it would appear that all 32-entrants have been decided on for the inaugural WWE Mae Young Classic that begins filming this Thursday.
Here’s a quick run down of the 32 names. Those with an asterisk (*) were names confirmed by Jim Ross on his podcast last night (but not yet revealed by the WWE officially), while two asterisks (**) are names that had WWE medicals this week but are still awaiting final clearance. There is still a chance that one or more may fail their physical (like how Io Shirai did after a neck injury was discovered) and that a replacement may still take their place.
