At the age of 23 years old Newell was announced as one of the competitors for the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament last summer but unfortunately she tore her ACL before the tournament commenced. Newell would be out for a full year rehabbing her injury but at last night's NXT house show in Venice, FL, Newell made her in-ring return and NXT debut where she teamed up with Dakota Kai to take on the duo of Vanessa Borne & Reina Gonzalez.
