Well, all 32 competitors have been announced for the Cruiserweight Classic and it's all set to begin this Thursday. With the tournament only a few days away, I felt like throwing out my predictions for how I think the tournament will go and who will win. So here are my predictions for the Cruiserweight Classic.
The Elite 8
Now, if I were booking the tournament, I would go for these eight to be the last eight in the tournament:
- Tajiri
- Rich Swann
- Noam Dar
- Zack Sabre Jr.
- Johnny Gargano
- Cedric Alexander
- Kota Ibushi
- Tommaso Ciampa
And the bracket would look like this:
- Zack Sabre Jr. vs Tajiri
- Johnny Gargano vs Tommaso Ciampa
- Kota Ibushi vs Rich Swann
- Cedric Alexander vs Noam Dar
Quarter Finals
So, in the quarter-finals of the tournament, we've got Sabre Jr. going over Tajiri, Gargano going over Ciampa, Ibushi going over Swann, and Dar going over Alexander. So now the tournament looks like this:
- Zack Sabre Jr. vs Johnny Gargano
- Kota Ibushi vs Noam Dar
Semi-Finals
Now in the final four, Sabre Jr. goes over Gargano and Ibushi goes over Dar. This makes it Zack Sabre Jr. vs Kota Ibushi in the finals.
The Finals: Sabre Jr. vs Ibushi
So the final match-up is Zack Sabre Jr. vs Kota Ibushi; a match I don't think has ever happened before. As for who wins, I'm going with Ibushi. Since Ibushi is no longer with New Japan or DDT, I have a feeling there's more going on between Ibushi and WWE at the moment, and that he could be signing with WWE very soon. I think that the tournament is WWE's way of introducing Ibushi to their audience, and having him win it would be huge. I'm going with Ibushi for the win.
And those are my predictions for the Cruiserweight Classic.
