10 Huge Signings WWE Must Make In 2018
9. Mia Yim
WWE only grabbed a handful of signings from the Mae Young Classic. Shayna Baszler, Kavita Devi, and Taynara Conti joined the company soon after, while the likes of Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair were already on their developmental roster. This is surprising, as the tournament showcased a number of wrestlers who are just as good, if not better, than WWE's top female performers, with Mia Yim the most baffling exclusion.
The former TNA Knockouts Champions' tourney bouts weren't classics, but she looked great against Sarah Logan, and carried the green Baszler through their second round clash. She's a smooth, slick competitor with an in-ring skill-set readymade for WWE programming, and her four-year Impact run means she's more than comfortable working to TV cameras, negating the need for a lengthy developmental stint, though the company would likely go down that route regardless.
Yim would immediately become one of Raw or SmackDown's top performers if she showed up in 2018. She's wasted on the independent circuit, and while her relative youth means she'll likely end up in WWE someday regardless, the company would be wise to sign her immediately.
