I assume the finals at All Out will be Bucks/Omega vs. Page/Dark Order.
House of Black will have a separate match against Sting/Darby/Miro.

I personally don't see the problem with the brackets. You could put the BCC in there, but they're all working as solo wrestlers right now. There are no tag or trio teams in that faction, unlike the Dark Order or Best Friends. 2.0 and Garcia could have represented the JAS, but supposedly Daddy Magic is injured so there are no real teams left there either. I could do without the Trustbusters in there but I think the rest of the brackets are pretty good. It's difficult to see who's going to win or lose most of the others.
And hey, if it is Kenny with the Bucks, we could get Omega vs. Ospreay in the semi-finals.

It is wild that Santana AND the guy he did the Uranage to in Blood & Guts II both got injured according to Menard himself when he made a recent video announcement about having to miss an indy show.

Going through the roster I found a few of the missing trios but mostly it seems that either they'll be busy at All Out or members injured.
Notable missing trios: Undisputed Elite (injured) The Factory (jobbers, more so than Trustbusters or Dark Order) JAS (injured members plus involved in other feuds atm) Gunn Family (might be facing Acclaimed at All Out) BCC (other feuds plus haven't yet started tagging as a trio) FTR/Punk (FTR and Punk want to do something in trios I have a feeling but I'm sure both dance cards will be full) Jay Lethal and Co (other feuds but might have been better fits than Trustbusters, but also not sure how much Sonjay is wrestling right now)
Though this doesn't count Stokley's group that he is making or Sydal/Top Flight

I'm hoping, probably in vain, that Best Friends go over The Elite in the tourny finals.

It would be a very WWE move to have the Best Friends lose in the finals. Set up the feel-good story where the underdogs prove they're genuinely great wrestlers, equal or better to anyone else in the company, and their camaraderie was the key. Then whoops, nope, lol you're jobbers, ha ha. I mostly trust they're smart enough to not do this with The Elite; they know there's a real danger of fans resenting the company if it feels like the founding group is getting booked too strong for no reason.
But I have a terrible fear they're actually going to put Ospreay in the finals with The Best Friends for the added tension of Cassidy getting his revenge, but then he loses again and this random team American fans don't know get the titles.

I would of much preferred a massive tournament that went on for a few months with new and different groups

For almost exactly the same reason why Tanahashi didn't become Interim AEW World Champion, I seriously doubt that United Empire wins the inaugural trios championship.

If we're going the dramatic route, then the final has to be the Bucks & Kenny vs. the Dark Order for custody of Hangman (and the belts.)

I really hope The Best Friends win. The always the bridesmaids, never the bride feel with them is real. I know a lot of that was Trent’s injuries taking near a year and a half of recovery.

Oh fk I just realized that if DO beats HoB then the Trustbusters will beat Best Friends because TK rarely does face vs face in tournaments

it’s finally time for Shane O’Mac, Pete Gas, and Rodney to get some gold! Willie Green and Joey Abs not invited.

I think we get Elite vs Dark Order in the finals. Just seems like other than the Hangman scenario. I wonder if they do the nonsense wrestling trope of a wrestler turning and costing themselves a title by having Hangman rejoin the Elite and going heel. Or do they attempt to make Dark Order interesting by having them dump Hangman after a hard fought loss?

I seriously doubt Adam Page has any connection whatsoever to Dark Order anymore.

Oh, fair enough, I missed that segment last night, and if I have to keep up with BTE to know what's going on in this company it would drive me away from the company.
