Just saw the bracket posted on Twatter and thought a thread of predictions, crazy theories and booking ideas could be fun. Here is the bracket: Looking at how the brackets stand, I don’t think there is any “guaranteed” winners. There’s arguments for and against all teams winning. My idea is for Kyle Fletcher and Powerhouse Hoobs to win the wildcard and then go on to win the tournament, only for Will Ospreay and/or Mark Davis (if healthy) to run in, destroy Hoobs and reunite as United Empire USA and take the tag titles.

I'm not super into these brackets as it just seems set up for Bucks/FTR IV. Which will be great but I think FTR vs this version of Bucks has a lot of potential and should be it's own full time feud not just part of tournament. Also think Mox & Claudio should have been in it, and I'd have had them win it. They have starpower and work together so well, would be a fresh set of champions to rebuild tag division
But saying all that, I could see Top Flight vs Bucks final

Curious who the Wildcard teams are, and also weird they aren't doing Infantry/FTR after how good the Collision promo was, so we'll see where that goes.

Infantry vs HOB for Wild Card 2 spot. And Best Friends/Callis Family Wild Card 1 So you'd think Infantry get a big win against HOB to set up FTR match.

also yeah why the f*** is Claudio/Mox not in this. they just beat FTR, they’re the team that should’ve won the whole thing.

Not only should they be in it but they should have a bye to the final. I like The Bucks getting a change to avenge their previous tournament loss to PP.

Thinking they give us a twist and we end up getting Young Bucks vs Top Flight as the final. I wouldn’t be shocked if we got Bucks/FTR 4 but you also can wait for that if you want.
It is super strange that Mox/Claudio aren’t in when they haven’t lost a tag match this year.

That could point to an injury and explain why TK waited as long as possible to release the bracket. He may have hoped they were cleared by this point.

Yeah, there are a couple of teams that feel like last minute additions. Hobbs and Fletcher have never teamed up, that I'm aware of. And I don't believe we've seen Starks and Bill since they lost the belts. Leads me to think that Mox and Claudio were supposed to be part of this for sure. Maybe another team was planned, but that's the most glaring omission, to me. Also, my predictions: Wildcard: Best Friends, House of Black First round: Young Bucks, Best Friends, Starks and Bill, FTR Semifinals: Young Bucks, FTR Final: Young Bucks

It is super strange that Mox/Claudio aren’t in when they haven’t lost a tag match this year. This is what I think. Bucks & Top Flight have good chemistry. Let them fly on a ppv. You need to elevate some new tag teams as tag division has been bit of an afterthought recently. And just going back to Bucks/FTR is much of the same. Plus with Cash situation have FTR put some guys over. Top Flight are probably best of the rest in the tag division Also this feels like a weird place to do Bucks/FTR IV. A bit throwaway. There is a good story to tell between these 2 teams especially now Bucks are doing this EVP gimmick. It deserves more focused feud, not just the result of a tournament. You can then build to the blow 5th match much later on.

This would be a great opportunity to have a bit of an upset and let a newer team win the tournament. Imagine if Top Flight were to win after beating Big Bill & Starks, FTR, and the Young Bucks. That's a new team solidified as one of the best and the tag division sorely needs that.

I guess I get it with BCC if one is hurt or they can't because of the CMLL stuff, but Takeshita was the one tagging with Hobbs. Don't really understand why it's Fletcher now. Especially because they don't seem to be doing anything with Takeshita.

Anthony Henry mentioned that the Workhorsemen were going to be part of the tournament before he got injured. I could see the Hobbs/Fletcher team being a fill in for them, especially if they’re just there to lose to Best Friends.

I wonder if Infantry were chosen to replace the Workhorsemen in the tournament(they had previous tv history with FTR), sucks that the match lose its flow the moment Captain botched.
