5 crazy twists to expect in the Mae Young Classic finals

#4 The winner becomes the new NXT Women's Champion!

Could one of these women hold the vacant NXT Championship belt?

Last week, after an emotional segment, we saw Asuka relinquishing her belt on NXT after a record breaking 523 days as the reigning and defending Women's Champion. The fact of the matter is that there is no NXT Women's Champion, right now.

Who better to fill the void than the winner of the prestigious Mae Young Classic tournament? It would certainly shake things up in the NXT landscape and make the future of the brand very unpredictable indeed.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

While William Regal had stated that he'll need a few weeks to make his decision, we believe that WWE loves to swerve its fans. We wouldn't be surprised if Regal was to declare the tournament winner as the new champion! TJP was felicitated with the Cruiserweight Championship when he won the Cruiserweight Classic last year, after all.
