"Thank you Impact Wrestling for the last 7 plus years that have changed my life forever and I'll always appreciate... on to the next..." Robbie E made it official today that he is no longer with Impact Wrestling. Although the question bares mentioning, why did he wait so long to make this announcement. Robbie E hadn't been featured on Impact Wrestling since January of this year. He had partnered with Bram in the NOAH Global Tag League back in April, before Bram was suspended from the Global Tag League for an inappropriate photo that he posted on his Instagram. Robbie was then partnered with KAZA SAKAMOTO and finished the tour. Robbie spent the last month wrestling in the Northern part of the United States and just lost to Sexxxy Eddy in Quebec, Canada.

One of the biggest head scratchers coming out of the Mae Young Classic is Toni Storm. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Storm has yet to sign with WWE. At 21 years of age the New Zealander would make perfect sense for the WWE. Many thought with her showing in the tournament being positive, that her status may change sooner than later with the WWE. Currently Storm is part of the World Wonder Ring Stardom in Japan, but is also the current PROGRESS Woman's Champion. In fact, the better part of the year she's either wrestled in the UK, Japan, Germany, or the WWE.

Most assumed that all of the women of the Mae Young Classic would be signed by the WWE. At least with the previous two Network Special Tournaments, the majority of the roster would be offered a job full-time with the company after the tournament. Although Baszler has lost to Kari Sane, it appears she has a home with the WWE. During the Classic, Triple H announced that "Win, lose or draw, it is my pleasure to welcome [Sane] and [Blaszler] to the WWE. What Blaszler's role with the company has yet to be revealed.
Currently, Shayna is still the reigning AIW Women's Champion, IndyGurls Australia Champion, and the PREMIER Woman's Champion. She had also become a semi-regular in Southern California's AWS where she was a top contender to the QPro Woman's Championship. ![]()
