WWE’s Mae Young Classic looks like it might be one of the biggest events of the summer. It might not rival the World Series, but it could be looked at as the World Series of female pro wrestling for sure.
There has been a lot of hype regarding the tournament ever since it was announced during WrestleMania week that it was happening.
Now with the event underway and taping started for the group of tournament shows intended for WWE Network it looks like everyone wants in on the fun.
While she might not be competing (even though that would be awesome), Ronda Rousey decided to stop by Full Sail University to check out the Mae Young Classic. Triple H was able to snag a photo op with the UFC star and we can only hope this is a sign that Rousey and WWE are still very much on the same page in regards to her eventually coming in whenever Dana White will allow her to.
