The WWE Mae Young Classic tapings are just a couple of days away, so news is flying fast and furious at the moment. One competitor has already had to withdraw from the 32-woman tournament, and on Thursday, WWE will air a live Facebook “Parade of Champions” to introduce all of the entrants.
But they’re also still officially announcing participants, and on Wednesday, WWE.com released the names of another two wrestlers in the Mae Young Classic.
The first name announced on Wednesday is Kay Lee Ray, a Scottish wrestler who is a fixture in the British scene, most notably in ICW and WCPW. In fact, she currently holds BOTH the ICW and WCPW women’s championships, which means that yet ANOTHER woman is representing non-WWE companies as champion in this WWE tournament. It’s so weird.
Ray has been wrestling since 2009 and has appeared on WWE television before, losing a squash match against Nia Jax. Go ahead and check out a bit of Kay Lee Ray in action:
Strangely (perhaps not a coincidence, just WWE being cute), the other name announced on Wednesday is also a Ray, although understandably going under a new name for the tournament. Amazon Ayesha Ray on the indies has been rechristened Ayesha Raymond, so it’s not THAT big of a change. Here she is in action against Nikki Storm:
This might be the last roster update we get before Thursday’s Parade of Champions. But you never know …
