Other than Shayna vs. Zelina, it's a damn good first round.

Got the recipe for a classic episode but I'm sure some of these will go far too short. Watch Kofi vs. Rey go the longest when Kofi should just kick his ass lmao.
Picks:
Zoey Stark defeats Ivy Nile Shayna Baszler defeats Zelina Vega Lyra Valkyria defeats Asuka IYO Sky defeats Natalya Drew McIntyre defeats Finn Balor (wish Finn got another matchup, King Finn would be an excellent callback but alas it is clearly not meant to be) Rey Mysterio defeats Kofi Kingston (hate Rey, they probably want to give him something with Legado gone though) Ilja Dragunov defeats Ricochet Gunther defeats Sheamus

Picks: Zoey Stark defeats Ivy Nile Shayna Baszler defeats Zelina Vega Lyra Valkyria defeats Asuka IYO Sky defeats Natalya Drew McIntyre defeats Finn Balor (wish Finn got another matchup, King Finn would be an excellent callback but alas it is clearly not meant to be) Rey Mysterio defeats Kofi Kingston (hate Rey, they probably want to give him something with Legado gone though) Ilja Dragunov defeats Ricochet Gunther defeats Sheamus I think the only one I might disagree with is Lyra beating Asuka, not because I don't like Lyra (as a wrestler at least) but just because I think Asuka will win. That said, if Asuka's been wrestling hurt than I'm fine with her losing lol. Rey beating Kofi I'd be fine with just because of what someone said last week about the idea of King Kofi Kingston...Also, I think Carlito will cost Rey anyway.

The menβs side and Asuka vs. Living Bird Girl is a crazy lineup.

I'm rooting for:
Ilja DM Hunk Iyo Ivy Zelina
No preference in the other matches, I just want them to be good.

There are some potentially amazing first round matchups. Gunther vs Sheamus, Drew vs Finn, and Lyra vs Asuka really intrigue me. Not a big Ricochet fan, but Ilja is always a lot of fun to watch wrestle.
Rooting for:
Gunther
Ilja Drew Kofi
Lyra Iyo Shayna
Ivy

Nattie Vs IYO should pretty damn well slap because neither woman has to lead the other and they have been training together and Nattie is definetly more than willing to let IYO lay her shit on her so it should be harder hitting than a typical match.

Yeah, as stale Nattie's character is I think she can still go in the ring and her and IYO should be fun too watch if given a decent amount of time and they don't go overboard with any shenanigans.

Are there reports that Asuka has been working hurt? I must have missed that?
If she is, then Lyra getting the win is fine imo.

I think it was the Joshi Island thread where I first saw it mentioned, it's news to me too if true. Asuka at worst tweaked her knee some weeks ago when she was out there for I think IYO VS NAOMI and everyone took notice that she started limping really badly and thought she was just selling. And now she has been wearing a knee brace so whatever happened was severe enough that she is wearing a knee brace.

8 matches of all wrestling and no promos or backstage skits will make this the best raw of all-time.

Drew vs Finn is such a wildcard, I think. Between Judgment Day shenanigans, CM Punk shenanigans, headcanon Wyatt 6 shenanigans, the chief potentially pistol-whipping Farva shenanigans, it would actually be a toss-up on who moves on.
