Top WWE Women's Superstars React To Mae Young Classic Starting Today

Alex Pawlowski Jul 13, 2017 5:09PM

Today is the first day of taping for the WWE's all-female tournament, The Mae Young Classic.

Fightful will have full LIVE Spoilers on all of the first-round matches from tonight, and you can watch the Introduction of the Full Field in the video above when WWE streams it at 6:30 pm est.

Many top female NXT and Main Roster superstars will be in attendance and several have posted messages of support on social media.

NOTE: By sheer coincidence (presumably), today also marks the two year anniversary of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch's debut on the main roster, which was the formal beginning of the "Women's Revolution" -- then called the "Divas Revolution" of course.

Becky Lynch retweeted this to honor the occasion:

Two years later! Change the game. Make the future! Thank you to all the women who have come before me. Thank you to the women now and for the ones still to come. Let's protect this special thing we have. #maeyoungclassic #womenswrestling

The weight of a legacy isn't a burden, it's a privilege. This is your time, ladies. Do it with Flair. #MaeYoungClassic
