TWO NEW MAE YOUNG CLASSIC COMPETITORS SET

By Andrew Twiss on 2017-06-23 19:09:00

At tonight's WWE NXT taping, WWE held a Mae Young Classic qualification matches:

*WWE NXT talent Bianca Belair (formerly Bianca Blair) defeated Aliyah to earn a spot in the tournament.

*Vanessa Borne (current NXT talent Danielle Kamela) defeated Jayme Hachey (independent talent Jayme Jameson) to qualify.

The tournament, named for the late Mae Young, is the company's latest endeavor at "superserving" their audience via the WWE Network, as they have described it, following the Cruiserweight Classic and the WWE UK Championship tournaments.   WWE's plan is to film the 32-woman tournament on 7/13 and 7/14 at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida before holding the final live later on.
