Nous ne nous pouvons pas sortir. Picking DIY to win it since Kota won't sign full time. Unless giving him this is their incentive to sing him full time.
Took a shot at it but I don't think I did well either. I thought the CWC was pretty clearly going to be Ibushi vs. Sabre before they both decided not to sign. I have no idea where to go here. Team being pushed in NXT? Push somebody new? Go with the combo of individuals like last year's winner? I think it's pretty up in the air.

Sorry. Just got the brackets yesterday morning and the first two matches were on yesterday's NXT. I kept it open until the bell rang to start Authors of Pain/Bollywood Boyz.
I didn't see this thread until way after the poll was closed, but my bracket would have ended with SAnitY vs DIY, probably with SAnitY winning since DIY would have to go through The Revival to make it to the finals, giving them an excuse for another title shot without needing to win the tournament.
Hideo Itami is officially out of the tournament after suffering another injury. I saw a clip of him getting powerslammed onto his own head at an NXT live event and... yeah. Looked bad. Poor guy.
No word on how this changes the brackets, if at all.
Terrible news of Itami. Hopefully this is just a couple of bad coincidences and not the beginning of an injury prone WWE-career. Anybody know about any sort of injury history pre-WWE?
Meltzer is reporting that TJ Perkins will take his place and tag with Ibushi now. I don't think that change will necessarily effect how far the team goes. I think this tournament is going to be more about the regular teams than the individual combos.
Originally posted by ChumpstainInjuries to Hideo Itami and Austin Aries messed my bracket up. I guess I still have a chance to get the overall tournament winner right, at least.
I think you're the only one who stands to benefit from the outcome of the final match. If AoP win, you move up from 6th to 4th overall, displaying current #4 SKLOKAZOID and #5 Toast Jr. Nobody picked TM-61 to win, so everyone else's standings are set. The only question is if prediction contest co-winners thecubsfan and hansen9j can pull off a clean sweep or not.
But sometimes they do just that - And even win! Like Bret Hart in 92: Losing IC to Bulldog at Summerslam; winning WWF before the following Survivor Series! Or The Rock in 98:
