Two of NXT UK’s best are set to collide in the Mae Young Classic First Round as Australia’s Toni Storm will battle England’s Jinny.
One of the favorites to go the distance in this year’s event, Storm blew away the WWE Universe in last year’s tournament, advancing to the Semifinals before falling to eventual tournament winner Kairi Sane. Armed with enough nasty-trajectory suplexes to make The Iron Sheik wince, The Lightning Down Under has since established herself as a force in the emerging NXT UK Women’s division.
A familiar foe of Storm’s, Jinny won’t be intimidated. The vicious Fashionista (who cites the likes of Lita and Aja Kong as her inspirations) ended Storm’s year-long reign as PROGRESS Women’s Champion last May, so she knows she has what it takes to knock off the Australian Superstar. Both competitors are doggedly determined, but only one NXT UK Superstar will have her hand raised when all is said and done.
