The Mae Young Classic - Episode 2

We hear from Xia Li, who is honored to show her unique talents in front of the WWE fans, having studied Kung Fu and Sanda, Chinese forms of martial arts and wrestling, respectively. She wants to bring the essence of Chinese culture the fans, and hope they get to know her as well as her culture. We then hear from Mercedes Martinez, who says that she is not a high-flyer and that she will knock someone straight out. She says that this will be Xia Li's first and only match, and that she will do what it takes to win as it is her time to shine.

Mercedes Martinez beats Xia Li with a submission that combines a Romero Special and a Dragon Sleeper to continue to the second round.

We hear from Rachael Evers, who did not grow up with wrestling as her dad - legendary wrestling manager Paul Ellering - did not take his kids to shows or let them watch. Now being back and part of the wrestling world again, he sees how different it has become. Rachael says she can adapt to any style, and when the bell rings, everyone will know who she is. We then hear from Marti Bell, who moved from the Dominican Republic to New York as a child and became who she is now. She does not follow the pack, she leads it; at the end of the day, everyone will see what a powerful Dominican woman looks like.

Rachel Evers beats Marti Bell with an inside cradle to continue to the second round.

Shadia Bseiso and Kacy Catanzaro, who are officially announced as two of the newest signees to NXT, are seen in the front row.

We see some footage from earlier this week where Triple H congratulates the women of the Mae Young Classic and asks them to make the most of their opportunity.

We hear from Miranda Salinas, who says her look alone sets her apart. She may be short, but she has been trained by the best: Booker T. Regardless of who her opponent is, she will make them tap and kick out every time. We then hear from Rhea Ripley, who has a soccer background and a love for heavy metal. She says she has the determination, the spirit and the charisma, and she becomes a different person when she gets into the ring. She plans to get into the ring with the rest of the women in the tournament and rip their heads apart.

Rhea Ripley beats Miranda Salinas to continue to the second round.

We hear from Mia Yim, a second-degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do. She has traveled the world and learned to best the best. Last year, she came out with her domestic violence story, to let people know that it i s okay to get help and to let people know that anyone can go through that. She is in the Mae Young Classic to make her place in the WWE, and says she will be there a long time. We then hear from Sarah Logan, a backwoods girl from Kentucky who has done things most of the women in the tournament cannot even dream of. Having been raised as a farm girl, she had to kill what she wanted to eat for dinner, and she is no stranger to hard work. She saved her money to go to Japan and become a wrestler, and now she will work harder than anyone else in the tournament to make it.

Beth Phoenix and Natalya are seen in the front row.
