All 32 Wrestlers In WWE's Mae Young Classic - Ranked

Winner...

1. Io Shirai

Io Shirai

Without almost a single shred of doubt, Io Shirai is going to win the 2018 Mae Young Classic. As far as big name female signings go, she’s honestly up there with Rousey in terms of stature. No, seriously.

She's been widely regarded as the best female wrestler in the world for the past few years, and her arrival could be one of the most important things to happen to the NXT women’s division since… ever. She's already being likened to The Four Horsewomen in terms of what sort of legacy she could leave on the brand.

While she's likely not a name that'll be overly familiar to a lot of WWE fans already, the Mae Young Classic is an instant star-maker for the company if it plans to throw her straight into the deep end of NXT, this is where they start.

Injury robbed her of an appearance and, if rumours are to be believed, the win at leat year’s competition so 2018’s almost certainly her year.
