If you haven't seen all of the 2nd Round yet...SPOILERS!!!!!!!!


Akira Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik

Zack Sabre Jr vs. Noam Dar

Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi

TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann

My guesses...
Akira Tozawa
ZSJ
Kota Ibushi
Rich Swann

In other news i hear Gran Metalik has officially signed with WWE

I have heard the same.  Cruiserweight division should be pretty awesome on Raw.  Maybe they'll actually make it worth having a 3rd hour.

As for predictions:

Gran Metalik
Sabre
Kota
TJP

No logic.  Just gut feeling.

My reason for my guess is obviously zsj is probably the most well known of anyone in this tournament. Kota and akira cuz wwe seems high on Japanese wrestlers currently. And Swann because he seems the most over with the crowd

As someone who hasn't even watched 1 full match:

Akira Tozawa over Gran Metalik
-I initially had Tozawa pegged for the semi-finals so I'll stick to my guns despite last round blowing a hole in my bracket.

Zack Sabre Jr over Noam Dar
-I'm still pegging the finals as ZSJ vs Ibushi.  While both of Zack's encounters were great so far, I think first round's time restraints coupled with the similar styled Gulak in the second round has kind of stilted Jr.'s game a bit.  I don't think he's gotten to show off proper yet and I think Dar will be the right guy to feed to the lions to show Zack's superiority at mat based wrestling.

Kota Ibushi over THE Brian Kendrick
-Man.  Kendrick playing bracket spoiler for me lately.  I figured he'd get off the bricks in the first round, but I was positive he'd lose to Nese in the second.  I've got Ibushi for the win so Kota moves on and Kendrick hopefully sticks around for NXT or Raw

TJ Perkins over Rich Swann
-And here's my second bracket buster.  I was really hoping TJP moved on, but I figured he'd fall to Gargano.  No one could have foreseen Gargano's kayfabe leg injury happening, much less playing into the tourney.  Swann has been made in this tourney already, so I don't think he needs to go any further.  To be honest, I'm kind of surprised he made it this far at all.  As a matter of fact he's another bracket killer for me because I thought Lince would go over.  If TJP is sticking around post-CWC (and I hope he is) he's going to have to flesh out who he is a bit more, not as a ring competitor mind you but as a performer.  I feel like he needs to shine in this round and develop a more compelling story in the cut scene vignettes.  I'm rooting for the guy but the uninitiated will need a reason to.

Akira Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik
Zack Sabre Jr vs. Noam Dar
Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi
TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann

I don't know, I think the semifinalists of this tourney will go straight to the main roster. And these four already advertised in the commercial. (Except for Ibushi, but I think he's not gonna win this.)

Akira
Dar (Sadly)
Ibushi
Perkins
