The spirited Australian also competed in last year’s competition, defeating Miranda Salinas in the first-round before falling to Dakota Kai in the last sixteen. Since her debut, Ripley has signed a development contract with the promotion and made sporadic appearances on NXT.
The 2018 Mae Young Classic will be recorded over the evenings of August 8 and August 9. It will be broadcast in episodes on the WWE Network later this year.
