Bengaluru, May 24: WWE Network hosted the Cruiserweight Classic Tournament, last year. It turned out to be a major success on the path-breaking network invented by the biggest pro-wrestling promotion in the world. This also paved the way for more to come in the future.
Later, WWE COO and the vice-president of the talent relations and events, Triple H confirmed that a women's tournament will be hosted soon.
A press conference was held prior to Wrestlemania where he and his wife Stephanie McMahon officially announced the show around this summer.
At this time, WWE.com released a further report. It suggested that the show will be hosted in a non-live format with the tapings taking place on July 13th and 14th.
The host of the event will be the home of WWE NXT, Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. It is named the “Mae Young Classic Women's Tournament."
However, August 29th might be going to be the day. Check out what Triple H had to say about the special event on WWE Network.

Honor the past. Look to the future.
32 competitors around the world will be participating in the series to try their luck out in the pinnacle of sports entertainment. WWE has arranged some tryouts to find out new talents to insert into this tournament.
The format of the show is going to be similar to that of the Cruiserweight classic with the loser being eliminated at a certain point.
WWE is trying to bring some major names from the indie circuit as well to add star power to it. Mia Yim, Candice LeRae are amongst those names.
