We noted before that the now former NXT Women’s Champion Asuka suffered a broken collarbone during her match at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III which forced her to relinquish the belt she held for 500+days.
While William Regal announced that he has started negotiating to send the former champion to the Main Roster, nothing was announced about the faith of the vacated Championship which left fans speculating what’s next. Though now a new report has revealed what the company has planned.
Dave Meltzer discussed this situation during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio and revealed that WWE is planning for the winner of the Mae Young Classic Tournament to be rewarded with the title.
The live final of the Mae Young Classic will take place from Las Vegas on Tuesday, September 12th, following the SmackDown episode scheduled for that day.
As for Asuka, we reported before how WWE is possibly planning for her to join the Raw Brand and make her Main Roster debut at an upcoming PPV
