The Official Mae Young Classic Tournament Thread

Yeah, I don't know what y'all see in LaRae. She was one of the most unathletic women in the whole tournament. The women she beat outworked her I swear if she was a WWE girl people would talk about how slow she moved. The only thing she's got going for her is she is a good pure babyface.

Nicole Savoy should've won that round. She was tossing LeRae like a sack of crap, and the only reason she was deliberate in her movements was cause she's coming off an ACL tear

In all fairness Toni Storm should have been on the other side of the bracket. Her match vs Kairi was the true final imo.

That's a high cheekbone

Toni Storm has the biggest upside out of all the competitors, I'd put that next strap on her instead of Kari

They also need to stop filing around and sign Santana Garrett and Tessa Blanchard

There's plenty of dead weight on next to deavor like liv Morgan to make room

Candace is a bad pro wrestler. There's a reason why she's had to rely on comedy intergender matches for years instead of making it on her own competing against women in serious matches. That shytty platinum dye job makes her look 15 years older, too.

I agree, she looks a lot older than she is.

Finisher is awful too. It takes such a prolonged and awkward amount of time to set up.

Kari showed Roman and Cena how to win over an audience and even brought a 2 hour drained Smackdown audience to life.

Yes

Rhea and Toni are my standouts. Rhea looks like a supermodel.

The original penciled-in finish for The Mae Young Classic had Kairi Sane defeating Toni Storm in the finals.

Sane going over Storm was the plan before the tournament started but it was switched to a semi-final match once WWE decided to go all out with Shayna Baszler and the Four Horsewomen angle. A source close to the tournament noted that it was decided early in the week for the night of the live finale to be all about Sane, saving the Horsewomen angle for a later date.

WWE likely did not decide on Sane being the winner until Monday. There had also been talk of having the tournament final decide would take the vacant WWE NXT Women's Title but that idea was nixed. As noted, Sane will compete for the vacant title at NXT "Takeover: Houston" on November 18th. No word yet on if she will compete in a singles match or a multi-person match but there's been speculation on Sane vs. Ember Moon. We should know more after tonight's NXT TV tapings.

Ditto to LeRae's dye job. She's a little older than me, but that hair ages her like ten years

this would make sense if that had any bearing on the tournament overall

they didn't even interview any of the WWE 4H during the tournament, there's no indication that any of the MMA 4H are even gonna sign

Wonder how soon they will have Kavita Devi added to The Maharajah's entourage?
