So potential EVOLVE names... Tony Nese Caleb Konley Drew GulakZack Sabre JrTracy Williams Matt RiddleJohnny Gargano TJ Perkins Potentially Sammi Callihan and if they are under 220/WWE want to make exceptions Timothy Thatcher Tommaso Chiampa Tommy EndEthan Page The one's I have highlighted are musts in my opinion. Especially ZSJ and End. Ends billed weight is at 211 lbs so he should be more than welcome with his current weight

I fully expect quite a few from what remains of TNA'S X division to show up in this tournament.
There's a time when that division had prestige and you wouldn't even considering leaving it for a WWE Cruiserweight anything, but those days have passed. Guys like Mandrews and DJZ and Lee and Everett should really hope they get an offer.

Considering NJPW just decided to undercut this with one of their own, it's more likely than you think. Now you've got me looking through the rosters of New Japan, NOAH, ROH, CMLL, etc. trying to find out which talents may not be able to be in this thing now. Seems like Japan is kind of out of the question now except for a few scattered free agents like Kota Ibushi. That said, there's still a hell of a lot of great talents who aren't tied down to those promotions or are just freelancers in general, as well as other promotions they could scout from like CHIKARA or EVOLVE. Hell, depending on the contract status of guys like Trevor Lee, Mark Andrews and Andrew Everett, they could try and get those guys the hell of out of TNA before all hope is lost for them. Tigre Uno and Manik are fresh out of TNA too

Gulak I think is a go to since they've been looking at him, and he's been slowly changing things up to look more for WWE. End and Sabre are takes for sure as well.

I hope after the way Vince and co treated him on the main roster breeze wins this whole thing. It could easily be a Breeze vehicle. But I feel like La Sombra wins it. A friend told me WWE thinks he could be the next Eddie, which I think is horseshit because nobody's the next Eddie, but still. I wonder where they will do the Japanese qualifiers. Every fed that matters commited to the Super J-Cup, including Dragon Gate, which probably would have been WWE's prefered partner if New Japan is hostile. I'm surprised to see DG and NJPW working together. Maybe, since Ibushi would probably be involved and I guess they wouldn't mind, it can happen in DDT.

But the thing that confuses me is that Trips mentioned PROGRESS and Revolution Pro in the announcement article... I think we could possibly get talent appearing in both GCS and SJC depending on whether they are freelance or if they are signed to NJPW. Will Ospreay has signed to njpw, but he is working for EVOLVE during WM weekend. Does his contract then make eligible to do both as wwe is also using Evolve for qualifiers? There is a lot to think about here

There is a lot to think about here considering that Ospreay is about to get a rocket strapped to him in New Japan gonna say he's not gonna take part in the qualifiers... or at least not win them.

Genuinely didn't expect that. I'm thinking June at York Hall on the same show as Kurt Angle/Sabre Jr.
