What’s the story?
WWE’s Mae Young Classic women’s tournament began filming on 13th July, and so far it’s looking pretty awesome. Sportskeeda will have another piece on the taping results, but for those of you who just want to know what the brackets are for the first round, this is for you.
In case you didn’t know...
As you may have read earlier, the participants in the Mae Young Classic were announced to the world via online video. But, if you watched the video and noticed Jim Ross talking about things happening “tonight”, it’s because the first two rounds are being filmed at Full Sail University.

Author’s Take
Much like the Cruiserweight Classic, I only had – at the least – a passing familiarity with about half of the contestants. Thankfully, Jim Ross and Lita’s commentary during the introduction of the contestants helped me get caught up to the point where I can look at these matchups and understand what’s going on.
Even if you know the results, the athletes in this tournament will at least ensure you’re going to be entertained while you watch.
