Predicting the participants in the 2018 Mae Young Classic

#31 Cheerleader Melissa

One of the most legendary indie performers.

Debuting in 1999, Cheerleader Melissa would have the most experience of anyone in the tournament, and if we can indeed some Knockout alumni in this year's tournament, she's the most obvious candidate.

Like Madison Eagles, she's also a former #1 on PWI's Female 50 list. Her run on the independent scene is long and storied, and it would only be fitting that she would get an opportunity to shine on the stage of the biggest promotion at last. Her presence would also be a great boon for developmental talent to work with.
