As we noted before, Japanese wrestling Star Kairi Sane defeated former UFC Star Shayna Baszler to win the Mae Young Classic Tournament, however apparently the original plans for the finals of the tournament were very different.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that while Sane was penciled to win the tournament in the previous plans too, originally Toni Storm was supposed to be her opponent in the finals instead of Baszler.
These plans changed when Officials decided to do an angle between the WWE and UFC’s Four Horsewomen and as a result Storm only made it to the semi finals where she was defeated by Kairi.
Though as seen this past Tuesday night, there was no confrontation between the two groups of Horsewomen and according to the Newsletter, the reason behind it is that WWE has decided to save this angle for a later date.
As reported previously Triple H announced that Kairi Sane will now challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship at the upcoming Takeover: Houston event.
While it’s not confirmed who will be her opponent on the show, speculation is that she will either face Ember Moon or end up competing in a multi-women match for the championship.
