ChesterCopperpot Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Could go in any of three threads - so I'll just stick it here Brand-versus-brand dream matches will become a reality as 15 Superstars in total — five from NXT, five from NXT UK and five from 205 Live — will compete over the course of two days, with the tournament winner receiving a future NXT, NXT UK or 205 Live Championship Match of their choosing. That means anyone can become a champion on any brand! The WWE Worlds Collide Tournament, which will be taped for a WWE Network special, kicks off with a 15-Superstar Battle Royal on Saturday, Jan. 26, at the 8 a.m. session of Axxess. The order of elimination in the Battle Royal will then determine the First-Round Matches for a 15-Superstar, single-elimination tournament beginning later that session. The Battle Royal winner will receive a first-round bye. The tournament will continue at Saturday’s second session of Axxess, taking place from 1-5 p.m., before concluding at the final Axxess session on Sunday, Jan. 27, from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Featuring a veritable who’s who from all three brands, the tournament will include the following Superstars: From NXT Adam Cole Velveteen Dream Dominik Dijakovic Keith Lee Otis Dozovic From NXT UK Mark Andrews Tyler Bate Travis Banks Jordan Devlin Zack Gibson From 205 Live Cedric Alexander Humberto Carrillo Tony Nese Drew Gulak TJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I assume that "they can go for any title" means the 205 weight limit would be waved? Otis Dozovic - future 205 Live champion! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Also - Carrillo is down there as a 205 Live guy - so he's being promoted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This should be providing content for a while, and judging from the roster... that's why this folder exists. So, this tourney goes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireThunder Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It might still be Carrillo. Buddy Murphy sent out an open challenge at the end of this week's episode of 205 Live to "anybody who can make the 205 pound weight limit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I agree it’s probably him and they didn’t mean to spoil a surprise yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Why can't they just make this a round robin as a lead up to combining all three brands? I'll take what I can get, but this is pretty much the only wrestling I care about and I don't want to have to spend so much time trying to keep up with 3 different shows.

Eivion Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Its kind of funny that Otis is in as a part of NXT when heavy machinery is about to move tot he main roster. I hope Dream wins this and wins the belt at the WM Takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I overlooked that the battle royal winner would get a 1st round bye, I had fears of some NXT/NXTUK/205 three-way match tourney going on. Thank god for being wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Rudo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This could be awesome, the problem is that WWE very rarely puts any effort into making it's tournaments any good. It's basically "so the fans like tournaments? Well, here is something we slapped together in 2 minutes and where nobody will be trying very hard".

With all the PPV/Specials they put on a RAW vs SDL - King of the Ring just makes sense. The Saudi tournament doesn't count. Supposedly the next all-Women's PPV will be a Queen of the Ring tourney. And if you're not all champing at the bit for Her Royal Highness Ruby of the House Riott, then, I just don't know what to tell you. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason that the end of the year couldn't be a KOTR special with the winner getting a title match at the Rumble. Would allow them to push a mid carder into a title match without worrying about it having to carry the show. In last true King of the Ring PPV in, I think....2002?.....the one where Brock won, the winner was given a title shot at that year's SummerSlam. That lead to the Rock/Brock match with "PURE SPORTS BUILD!!!". Anyway, I liked that they added that stip to the tourney to give it a bit more meaning. And then, of course, they got rid of KotR the following year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
