5 Surprising Moments from the Mae Young Classic - Episode 2

#4 Xia Li Is A Future Star

Xia delivers some good kicks.

I hope that with my previous point it doesn't make it seem like I don’t want to see inexperienced wrestlers, far from it. This style of the tournament can be a good showcase for young wrestlers needing more in-ring time in the indies or at the WWE Performance Center. No one looked better of the newer wrestlers on the second episode then Xia Li.

She was the prized signee from their China tryout. I could see why. She had a unique look, uses her martial arts background nicely and had the crowd behind her. The WWE placed her with a great veteran in Mercedes Martinez. They made the right decision in having Mercedes win but the match. But it did what it should have done, established a future star from China.
