Ex-WWE Star Return Confirmed
The second Mae Young Classic tapes from Full Sail on August 8th and 9th and WWE announced yesterday that a former Divas Champion is set to return to the company.
Celeste Bonin – going by her ring name Kaitlyn – left WWE in 2014 and seemingly retired from the world of professional wrestling. Since then she’s launched a clothing line, a workout and life coaching YouTube channel and recently had a one-match stint with Coastal Championship Wrestling, defeating Mae Young Classic 1 entrant Rachael Ellering in February.
ESPN revealed Kaitlyn’s return to WWE and entrance into the second Mae Young Classic and Triple H tweeted:
.@WWENXT participant, former #DivasChampion, and now #WWEMYC competitor. I know the @WWE Universe is excited to see what @CelesteBonin makes of this opportunity. https://t.co/ECwuhfDGGO

Kaitlyn told ESPN:
“Since I came back, I had the opportunity to work backward and really nail down the fundamentals and the basics — things that I really lacked during my first run with the WWE. Now I am bringing these newly honed and developed skills that I have acquired recently and I am combining that with my fearless attitude. And because I don’t have this rookie vibe about me, now I can really concentrate on surprising the WWE universe with all the things I have learned.”
Kaitlyn is the first name officially announced for Mae Young Classic 2, but there have been a lot of rumours of other entrants including NXT UK’s Toni Storm, Isla Dawn and Killer Kelly, along with Nixon Newell – who missed out on last year’s tournament due to an ACL injury. It’s also been rumored that one half of one of the best matches I’ve seen in 2018 and possibly ever Meiko Satamura could also take part.
