Last week, WWE officially revealed the names of all 32 participants to their Mae Young Classic tournament.
Since then, former Knockouts Champion Taylor Wilde has revealed via Twitter that she almost came out of retirement as she was considered to partake in the women’s tournament. However, due to an injury she suffered while training, she opted out participating. You can read Taylor’s tweets below:
“I was considered to partake in the Mae Young Classic. Due to an injury sustained in training, retirement is where I will stay. However, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t consider other opportunities. I’m just retired as in-ring talent. Congrats to the success of the tournament & what it means to women’s wrestling. It’s an exciting time to be in the sport as a female.”
