WWE announced the full list of participants for the 2018 Mae Young Classic today, which will air on the WWE Network beginning on September 5 at 9 p.m. EST.
In a change from the original tournament, which was streamed Netflix-style by putting all the episodes at once, this year's tournament will feature a weekly one-hour show every Wednesday night, leading to the finals at WWE Evolution on October 28.
In another change, the commentary team will consist of Michael Cole, Renee Young and former Women's champion Beth Phoenix. One of the criticisms of last year's tournament was the subpar commentary of Jim Ross and lack of female perspective in the commentary booth.
The tournament matches will taped over two nights at Full Sail in Florida on August 8 and 9, and a full list of participants is below:
