Nov 4, 2016

The plan is for WWE to run a Women’s Tournament (similar to the Cruiserweight Classic) in early 2017. This has been rumored for some time. Talents have been contacted, with some being told January and some March. It may be that it takes place between January and March, because if taped like the Cruiserweight Classic, there would be multiple taping dates leading to the finale.

There has been talk that a Cruiserweight Classic, Dusty Rhodes Tag Classic and Women’s Tournament could all become yearly events.
