The First Round of the tournament will see eight intriguing matches, including:

Tyler Bate vs. Tucker
Jordan Devlin vs. Danny Burch
Trent Seven vs. H.C. Dyer
Wolfgang vs. Tyson T-Bone
Mark Andrews vs. Dan Moloney
James Drake vs. Joseph Conners
Pete Dunne vs. Roy Johnson
Saxon Huxley vs. Sam Gradwell

---

So Folks will you be watching a WWE show designed for out time zone and (despite the title) featuring some very local local performers?


I wonder if they will stay true to the intention to have a weekly show on the network based on this tournament.

How many of the lads taking part are Irish?

2. Jordan Devlin is from Bray and is trained by Finn Balor and Paul Tracey. Tucker is from Northern Ireland and I know very little about him.

I will 100% be watching this. Pete Dunne IMO is the favourite here. Looking at Pete & MAndrews in one Semi and Jordon and Trent Seven in the other. Jordan vs Tyler Bate in round 2 has the potential to be match of the tournament.

The expectations I have for this is sky high. With the small venue it'll be interesting to see what the set up will look like.

sky88

Looking forward to this a lot will be my first time seeing a lot of the guys

DM_7

I am intrigued by how they will get everything in. Finalists will need to work three matches the second night.

Looking forward to this

If its does get a weekly TV show will they record it similar to NXT and tape a months worth of shows in one night in the same venue ???. Triple H will hardly be in the gorilla position for the weekly show each week

Will the WWE UK brand have house shows and tour Irish cities such as Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford etc

I would imagine it will be similar to NXT from a cost point of view.

Re touring nobody knows. And anybody that says different is full of ****. I would think its unlikely for at least a year and that of course is dependant on the tournament leading to a full time territory

Just looking on Wikipedia.

Tyler Bate was born in 1997.

No no don't feel completely ancient at all.

That championship belt is better looking than anything on the main roster,

Really looking forward to watch reasonably times live wrestling,

But he missed out on both the Hulkamania and Attitude Era! He grew up with the "remember how great wrestling used to be?" era. Feel better?

Is Tyson T-Bone a traveller?

They're billing him as king of the travellers.

Loving the presentation style so far, great building too. The absolute stench of D-lo Brown off of H.C Dyer.

Itssoeasy

Michael cole calling actual wrestling moves. Madness. Also that closeline was JBL approved.

sky88

Love when they let cole actually call the wrestling he's a brilliant commentator well allowed too
