9. Mae Young Classic
Always a bit odd to go back and look at the Mae Young and CWC, seeing as they operated as feeder systems into the big dub. 5 years on from the first incarnation of the tournament, it’s absolutely STUFFED with talent.
Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Kimber Lee, Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane, Toni Storm, Dakota Kai, Rhea Ripley, bloody loads of amazing wrestlers. Of course this was 5 years ago and so the hype around some of these talent wasn’t as fever pitch as it might be today, but both Mae Youngs definitely made some superstars and prepped them for greatness, Baszler, Sane, Shirai, Storm.
Some absolutely stellar matches and a huge injection of top talent into WWE’s ranks. Just a shame the tournament’s trophy wasn’t a giant walking hand.
Best incarnation of the tournament: 2017, but only just.
