Mercedes Martinez

Mercedes Martinez stands at 5 feet 7 inches tall and hails from Waterbury, Connecticut. She competes as a powerhouse style wrestler and maintains an active presence on Twitter under the handle @realmmartinez.

Martinez waited 17 years before making her WWE debut in the first Mae Young Classic. She advanced to the semifinals of the tournament.

The veteran wrestler built a decorated championship resume across the United States independent circuit. She was eliminated from the Mae Young Classic by her protégé Shayna Baszler, who later became the NXT Women’s Champion.

Prior to her elimination, Martinez delivered devastating suplexes and applied her spine-stretching Dragon Sleeper to leave a lasting impression on opponents. She worked for nearly two decades to establish her career.

The Connecticut native is currently in the best physical condition of her career. She is determined to achieve victory in her second Mae Young Classic appearance.
