The second edition of the WWE Mae Young Classic came to a conclusion today. Japanese sensation Io Shirai, who, as expected, in her first year in the WWE has already been super impressive, went head-to-head against last year's semi-finalist Toni Storm in the this year's highly anticipated, mouthwatering finals clash.

Toni Storm and Io Shirai started off the match with a lot of back-and-forth between each other, as they traded some stiff shots early on into the match. As the bout gradually progressed, the pace of the match slowly and steadily started rising as well. Midway through the match, Toni Storm, out of absolutely nowhere, caught her opponent with an absolutely devastating Stormbreaker, only for Io to kick out at two.

This, in particular, was not only one of the biggest moments of the match but was one of the biggest moments of the entire night, given that the Stormbreaker is one of the most protected finishing maneuvers in the business and has done wonders for Toni Storm throughout the MYC II. However, to see Io Shirai kick-out of it at 2 was certainly incredible!
