WWE holding a special Mae Young Classic episode after tomorrow's RAW. Only will have one match with the rest of the show hyping up Tuesday's Finals.
Current reports state the Finals itself is planned to be a 30 minute show with just one match. Quote:

Still hoping someone will start using the donkey punch as a finisher.

Going to be a short final match considering WWE wasted almost half the show with pre-match stuff.

Finals match ended up being a lot better than I was expecting.

MYC trophy might actually be taller than Kairi Sane.

Holy fucking shit. I'm speechless. The right person actually won . 10,000 points to you, Hunter/Steph/whoever was making the decision.

Pretty fucking perfect booking. They could have had Baszler win and just used it as a hype vehicle for someone who already has built in hype. Instead they built a story they can come back to any time they want. Especially once Baszler gets introduced to WWE as a badass, legit MMA fighter and she has to come up against the woman who beat her in the biggest women's wrestling tournament ever.
If only the main roster could understand this kind of simple yet effective booking. |

Also, only Charlotte, Bayley and Becky confronted Rousey's crew in that video. If they're building to a 4 on 4 match, they just made it seem a little less lopsided if they just put Sane on Team Charlotte.

Sasha/Raw is in Australia. They knew she'd be away from the live event so they didn't have her there for tournament at all.

According to the Observer, the original plans for the Finals were Kairi Sane versus Toni Storm. That got changed to Sane-Baszler once WWE was able to get Ronda Rousey to show up for the tournament.
The next set of plans were for Baszler to win and start the Four Horsewomen angle at the event. Baszler was penciled to win as late as Monday before it got changed to Sane. Reason for the change was due to WWE suddenly deciding on wanting to start the Four Horsewomen angle at a later date and realizing it would have overshadowed Sane's win and the Finals itself. |

So, it looks like Kairi is now slotted in the title picture at NXT TakeOver Houston for Survivor Series weekend.

I liked the MYC but was expecting a little more with all the hype.

I think it's mostly due to the binge-watching. Tournament would have felt longer and more impactful with one-week episodes.

WWE reported to have offered another 6 contracts to MYC competitors. If all accept, would leave just 13 unsigned from the tournament afterwards.
Revised list from those known to have signed or from NXT prior to the tournament: Abbey Laith Bianca Blair Dakota Kai Lacey Evans Reina González Rhea Ripley Sage Beckett Sarah Logan Taynara Conti Vanessa Borne Xia Li Zeda Kairi Sane Safe to assume Jazzy Gabert and Piper Niven are two of the six who got offers during or after the tournament. Nixon Newell and Zelina Vega were signed before the tournament but not used. |

Rhea is young and cute, but maybe it's better to give her more time to polish and learn the world a bit?

Finally finished this. Enjoyed the tournament.
Shayna Baszler reminds of Baron Corbin in terms of looks and mannerisms, but with more submissions. |

I'm lightweight obsessed with Toni Storm. Biance Belair is on some next level shit. Dunno why I love Dakota Kai, but I do.

Dakota Kai has some spunk to her. I remember her from NXT early in Nia Jax's push. She wore these trunks and I thought it looked nice, because very few women wear trunks.
