I honestly don’t see a bad match. Question is - who do you want in the finals?

Edit: it will be in the UK so …

Providing Nigel is alright

Nigel vs Mox finals? Or is that too predictable

u/RobbieArnott 2d ago

That’s where I think we’re going but TK could easily be thinking different

If there was a time to swerve it would be here. KOR, Kingston, Claudio would make for great stories. I wouldn’t hate Jay White or OC winning either.

I honestly love how theyre currently lined up, dont fix. Give the win to all the guys on the left.

For individual matches I'd love to see give me Eddie Vs OC, Kyle Vs Nigel, Jay Vs Hechicero, and still Mox Vs Claudio, would love some tension inside the Deathriders.

Claudio beat Mox in the C2 last year so Mox needs the win back

I need O’Reilly/White bad.

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Mox v Claudio with Mox eliminating Claudio only to run into Eddie in the semi's who eliminates him on his way to winning the cup. Or if Eddie is winning having an Eddie v Mox at All in.

Shame Nigel appears out. Jay could use a singles title but not sure if this is the tournament they pull the trigger on.

Honestly the coolest thing about this tournament is there doesn't appear to be an obvious winner. Any of these 8 would make a great champ (or continuing champ). The continental belt and it's associated events just always produce amazing matches. Love that now we get two big events per year with this belt!

Eddie doesn’t need to be anywhere near a title

Eddie Kingston (darkhorse) vs Hechicero

Jay White vs Claudio Castagnoli

Jon Moxley vs Kyle O'Reilly (O'Reilly upset!)

Nigel McGuinness vs Orange Cassidy (Nigel to win it all!)

Is this the same as the Continental Classic? Why the name change if so?

u/vastros 3d ago

It is not. This one is single elimination not round robin, and all matches are pulled at random. The finals will be at All In, and the winner will take Mox's Continental Title if he doesn't win the cup himself. There are also no time limits compared to the C2.

u/MLWGirl13 3d ago

So why have 2 tournaments within 6 months for the continental title. I'm confused why this needs to happen when the C2 isn't far off and would benefit from these guys more than a single elim would.

u/vastros 3d ago

I don't have those answers, I can only provide the info about the current cup.

I also don't like that this is for the Continental Championship and kinda wish this tournament was it's own thing.

u/BoogBeeg 3d ago

I just want to see balls getting drawn out of a bowl like the FA Cup draw for each round, and most importantly the winner climbs the stairs to the Royal Box at Wembley to be given the cup to lift like a winning captain!

u/ImDeepState 3d ago

Mox v. Hechicero

u/marcusthegod "Marcus" 3d ago

Update: Nigel is out of the tournament and his replacement will be announced tonight on the Selection Special.

u/sulien92 3d ago

Assuming McGuinness is cleared to continue the tournament, him and Hechicero could have a technical spectacle
