Two Signings Announced During ‘Mae Young Classic’

WrestlingInc have confirmed that WWE revealed two new signings during the ‘Mae Young Classic,’ which was just released on the WWE Network today.

If you are interested in who the two new signings are, we highly suggest you give the following video a watch. One of the two women signed speaks about her journey on ‘American Ninja Warrior’ and how she decided to participate in a tryout with WWE.

It was announced today during the first four episodes of the ‘Mae Young Classic’ that Kacy Catanzaro and Shadia Bseiso have signed with the company. It is unknown at this time if their names will remain the same or change.

Catanzaro first gained attention on ‘American Ninja Warrior’ from the NBC channel, becoming the first woman to ever complete the qualifying course for the show. She also made Sports Illustrated’s ‘Fittest 50’ list. The video we showed above showcased her during her tryout back in January of this year.

With H/T to WrestlingInc for the quote, this is what she had to say:

“I think a lot of the things from my background, from gymnastics to obstacle course racing – the physical and the mental, the speed, agility, strength, all of that – [and] being able to mentally prepare for that and go in front of a lot of people and be on point that second that you have to… I think that all of that could be a really big advantage for me coming into the WWE.”

Bseiso participated in the Dubai tryouts. She is a TV personality over in India and has a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. She is fluent in both English and Arabic. Evidence of this can be seen in some of her Instagram posts we have to show you below:
