The Mirror reports Toni Storm has officially been added to the 2018 Mae Young Classic. Storm competed last year in the tournament and despite her impressive showing throughout, she lost in the semi-finals against Kairi Sane.
Storm spoke to the Mirror Sport's Tony Quant about being a part of the second Mae Young Classic, describing it as
"surreal."
"It's just strange because I feel like my brain still hasn't let it sink in yet that I am associated with WWE," Storm said. "I have strived for it for so long and dreamt of getting into WWE from being a kid and I have never let it go. It's completely surreal, a lot of the time I kind of don't even think i have got there."
Storm is signed to the NXT UK brand and is scheduled for NXT UK's first television tapings at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England this weekend
.
So far, WWE has announced 19 names for the 32-woman tournament. The 2018 Mae Young Classic will take place at Full Sail University on August 8th and August 9th with episodes airing later this summer.
