*Google Fu*

Hmm, interesting... Another power wrestler by the looks of things. Between Gabert, Niven, Beckett, Devi and maybe this lady here, that's quite a few represented in a category often overlooked in modern female wrestling.

Rhea Ripley being announced for the Mae is actual front page news in her hometown of Adelaide... Which probably says something about how quiet a city Adelaide (a state capital here, mind you) is when it's midweek.

It's because nothing happens in Adelaide. City of Churches and literally nothing else

I hope she brings the Ass Cape.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

James and Hayden seem like good mechanic types for the opening rounds, possibly into the quarters. Don't know anything about Miranda. Tapa didn't look that great in her TNA run (but who did, right?), so hopefully she's improved since then.

There were a few wrestlers who left SHIMMER earlier than usual yesterday. Medicals are taking place today...

Alongside names such as Ayesha Ray, Jessica James, Lei’D Tapa, Miranda, and Barbi Hayden that we revealed being in Florida to undergo medical testing for WWE’s Mae Young Classic another name in Florida we can confirm is Marti Belle.

OK, time for guessing by process of elimination...

*Courtney Rush/Cherry Bomb/Chelsea Green/Allysin Kay are out due to their GFW deals
*Shotzi Blackheart and Veda Scott are in the SHINE Nova tournament
*Nevaeh got injured on these shows
*Saraya Knight seems unlikely since I think WWE want to wash their hands of that family sooner rather than later
*Leva Bates is possible only if the heat's died down from how she lost her cult enhancement role in NXT
*Same with Jessicka Havok with the racist comments around the time of her tryout
*Tessa Blanchard is already in the thing
*LuFisto has publicly stated she's not in it, but wrestlers are regular liars so who knows

Which leaves:
*Angel Dust
*Ashley Lane
*Britt Baker
*Cat Power
*Charli Evans
*Delilah Doom
*Deonna Purrazzo
*Hudson Envy
*Jessica Troy
*Kay Lee Ray
*KC Spinelli
*Madison Eagles
*Mercedes Martinez
*Mia Yim
*Nicole Matthews
*Nicole Savoy
*Samantha Heights
*Shayna Baszler
*Shazza McKenzie
*Solo Darling
*Taeler Hendrix
*Thunderkitty
*Vanessa Kraven

Baker, Doom, Purrazzo, Matthews and Thunderkitty are in the box seat having worked enhancement for WWE or NXT within the last year, while Ray, Yim and McKenzie all did so in recent years, as well.

If Candice isn't in this WWE has lost a huge opportunity to have an instant over underdog face in this thing...

LeRae wasn't at these SHIMMER tapings for some reason, which is why she wasn't listed, but she's definitely as much of a chance as anyone of being in this thing.

[Crappler El 0 M]

So far, they have announced a lot of Stardom gaijins (Gabert, Storm, Blanchard, Niven). I've heard they won't be the only ones.

[Crappler El 0 M]

She hasn't been officially announced to my knowledge, but it's obvious that Zhao Xia will be in the tournament. She just posted this pic to instagram and tagged the pic with "Mae Young Classic"

I'd have to Ashley Lane/Madison Rayne is out because of her ties to Buckets O'Cash and GFW. Deonna Purrazzo is tight with ROH so I am not sure WWE chances that. I'd think Shayna Baszler would be close to a lock because of her tryouts and possible mainstream crossover.

I believe Madison Rayne is still with GFW/Impact as wrestler or agent. Also, I believe she's married to Josh Mathews. I don't know about Deonna as she's a tree freelancer from what I understand, but so far none of the women who work with ROH have been announced.

It was reported that she no longer appeared to be with GFW a couple of days ago.
