So far the only big surprise results are the fact that Kay Lee Ray and Genderswapped Ivan Drago are out first round.

I didn't know Serena was in, that's awesome. I hope she gets signed again.

So are they doing all first round matches today? Since there are 32 competitors, that would mean a total of 16+8+4+2+1 = 31 matches, including the live finals. And will only the final match e live, or the semis as well? I believe the first round is today and tomorrow. Round 2 and 3 in August. Not sure about the semis. Finals will be live after SDL in Vegas one night so just that one match I'd think.

Looks like the first round will be all done today, so tomorrow will probably be the second round and maybe scattered exhibition matches to fill time.

I went back and looked, JR said they were taping 30 over 2 nights so looks like only the finals will not be taped. Probably easier to make sure they have everyone they need that way.

Could have sworn there was a third taping date scheduled for the quarters/semis between this week and the live final, but I can't seem to find it. So literally just about this whole tourney will be done by tomorrow, bar one match.

I'm so salty that they fed Tessa Blanchard to Kairi on the 1st round. Stupid decision.
Also, that pirate gimmick looks stupid af.

Speculation over.
Kairi's Elbow Drop is her finisher.

From some of the reports on Twitter, a lot of the Performance Center girls were able to do as good as their more well-known counterparts. Hearing good things about Evans, Conti, Belair, Li and Zeda in particular.
Unfortunately, Borne didn't have a great showing against Deeb and may end up as the "Bollywood Boyz/Noam Dar" of the tourney and be a token punchline.

That elbow drop is probably the best I've ever seen so if they even thought about banning it because Bayley does a shit one as a signature then someone needs a slap(or an elbow drop).

The funny thing coming out of that is Sane and Bayley (in the crowd for this) supposedly playfully taunting each other with their elbows.

I feel there's something missing here... Yeah, Serena grew her hair back.

Glad to see she kept the elbow drop. That might be the best looking top rope elbow I've ever seen, barring maybe Savage.

Well, Joey is long gone from WWE so that photo is a bit out of date.

Only surprise so far is KLR going out first round, maybe she has booking commitments that she didn't want to/was unable to break which interfered with the second round.
