The tournament is set to kick off next week and will feature seven WWE Superstars along with a mystery eighth NXT Superstar.
The participants in the tournament include Santos Escobar, Dragon Lee, Karrion Kross, Bobby Lashley, Grayson Waller, Austin Theory, Kevin Owens, and the yet-to-be-revealed NXT Superstar.

Logan Paul’s reign as the United States Champion has been met with mixed reactions from the WWE Universe. Some fans appreciate his celebrity status and the attention it brings to the title, while others believe that a more seasoned wrestler should hold the championship.
