We reported last week that the injury sustained by Tegan Nox during the Mae Young Classic taping came at a terrible time for Nox, who was just coming off a previous injury which kept her out of the ring for a lengthy amount of time, as WWE had big plans for Nox in the Mae Young Classic.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, not only were there plans in place for Nox to be part of the finals in the tournament, but there was serious talk of Nox winning this year’s Classic. As a result of Nox’s injury, the finals will now consist of Io Shirai vs Toni Storm, and that match will take place at WWE Evolution.
In related news, WWE will be holding another round of NXT UK TV tapings this weekend, and advertised for the tapings is the crowning of the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion, after a two-day tournament. The Observer reports that the likely winner of the tournament this weekend is Toni Storm, and if Storm does indeed win the NXT UK Women’s Title, then the likelihood of Io Shirai winning the Mae Young Classic drastically increases, as WWE likely won’t have Storm winning both the Title and the Classic. If Shirai does win this year’s Classic The Observer reports the decision will be very different from what WWE had originally planned.
BREAKING: The first ever #NXTUK Women’s Champion will be decided this weekend at #NXTUKBirmingham!
