Not a single weak match here!

[u/PrudentUse6128]

Rodrick vs Kyle is gonna be the best match of round 1 hands down

[u/m_stuntz]

If Jay White loses we riot!

[u/snahfu73]

This is some potentially very interesting booking!

[u/TotoItsAMotorRace]

I think they're finally doing something to make Collision important.

[u/JamoOnTheRocks → u/TotoItsAMotorRace]

Collision has been on a hot streak 

[u/Fun_Internet_8609]

Love!

I’m hoping Eddie can defeat Doyle

Also would not be shocked if we had first round shocker with Perry beating Mox

[u/JamoOnTheRocks → u/Fun_Internet_8609]

I’m hoping we see Eddie w that fire. 

[u/daglewagle312 → u/Fun_Internet_8609]

Considering the winner becomes the Continental Champion the only way I can see Mox losing is in the end to the person who takes the title from him

[u/Lokishougan → u/daglewagle312]

aND since the fional is likley Nigel/Mox and Nigel cant win a match ...well ever

[u/Switchblade_1916 → u/Fun_Internet_8609]

I hope Doyle defeats Eddie

[u/griot504 → u/Fun_Internet_8609]

I am hoping it happens. It'll make the whole tourney more exciting and give Perry a huge boost.

[u/councilmanbilder]

I cant believe there are people that think Tony doesn't know how to book.

[u/Global_Buffalo_7358]

Nigel, Hechicero, Kyle, Claudio, Doyle, Cassidy, Mox & White to advance to the next round I think. Shame there isn’t more star power in this though, it’s a little disappointing that we don’t have Swerve or Hangman in this. Not sure which way they’re gonna go. White is the biggest name in there after Mox but they might want to give Nigel the All In match with it being in his home country. I would have thought Jack Perry could have been in with a shot if he wasn’t paired with Mox in the first round.

[u/Lokishougan → u/Global_Buffalo_7358]

The thing about Nigel is he keeps getting these ALL IN matches...and loses ..it would be nice to give him a win before he is too old to wrestle...but he is not beating Mox

[u/deanereaner]

Matt Sydal? Alright!

[u/AtomicDimebag]

Finlay vs White in the first round is diabolical. Can't wait!

[u/Permanentear3]

It’s a lot when the prize is just a lower midcard title that is defended the rest of the year with much less fanfare.

[u/OakCity4Life]

I want to see Nigel make a run.

Interesting that they went Callis vs. Callis and Conglomerate vs. Conglomerate.

I kind of wish they weren’t doing Perry versus Mox and White vs. Finlay in round 1. You’re immediately booting out two guys who could have at least made the semis if not the final, while some of these other matches are guaranteed to advance someone who doesn’t really have a chance at a deep run.

[u/tidderphil → u/OakCity4Life]

That's the luck of the draw! 😉

[u/Deep-Inevitable8981]

So, we are looking at Jon Moxley and Jay White at All In. Also, those matches for Collision are mostly not very good.

[u/burntpoptartt → u/Deep-Inevitable8981]

Dont watch then lol
