If she's signed, I think Toni Storm wins it. She got to the semis last year, and her stock has only risen since then. I think this is her tournament.
Piper Niven better be back.
I could see this being the debut for Rosemary, if she's healthy. Also, hopefully the debut of a newly free from Impact, Allie.

Toni Storm was one of my favorites the first go around. Glad to hear the news on her.
Also hoping Tessa is back. They eliminated her too quickly.

Piper Niven better be back. Bit of a question mark over her status, as well as that of fellow 2017 entrant Kay Lee Ray, since they're both linked to the World Of Sport project, which is active again. I could see this being the debut for Rosemary, if she's healthy. Also, hopefully the debut of a newly free from Impact, Allie. Wait, what? Anything official about either of them going? (Rosemary's rehabbing a knee injury anyway, right? So she might not be able to even if she (possibly) is a free agent now)

The recent news from the SquaredCircleSirens guy is that Allie is no longer advertised for the June Impact tapings. Disappointing about Piper Niven not being back.

I mean, that doesn't MEAN she won't be back but considering she's got titles in Japan, Scotland and France right now...probably a bit difficult to pull off with potential dates.

Newell would almost certainly be a competitor; she was going to be in the first tournament before she injured herself.

Well, there’s some good news and bad news about that. Bad news is, she was about to be signed to a deal last year but they found a serious neck problem in medical checks that she needed to have surgery on ASAP. Good news is, she’s slowly getting back into action, so if she’s match-fit and they’re still interested (and I can’t think of any reason why they wouldn’t be) she’s probably a lock to make a deep run into the tourney this time around.

She had one of her first matches a few weeks ago (which I believe was a tag match?) so she's getting more and more in ring shape by the weeks.

I'm hoping the brackets are set up better this time. There were too many favorites going out in the first round last year.

Zeuxis seems like an obvious guest.

Hoping maybe Kaitlyn finds her way in as the "Last Chance Veteran" like Serena last year.

Out of the PC entrants, I think Kacy and Jessie Elaban are gonna shock some people.
Unless Kacy is already put into NXT TV beforehand.

Nixon Newell is pretty much a lock to be in the tournament. Jessamyn Duke, Jessie Elaban and Kacy Catanzaro will probably be in it as well. Last year's alternatives probably have good chances as well (Nicole Matthews, Deonna Purrazzo) From the indies I could see Shazza McKenzie, Jordynne Grace, Madison Eagles, Veda Scott, Melanie Gray, Charli Evans, Britt Baker and Chelsea Green being a part of it.
