Since I was unaware of a good number of these women, my first look at them was in the Parade of Champions special.

For those who want to know, I had obviously been exposed to the people from last year's tournament (Kavita Devi, Mercedes Martinez, Mia Yim, Rachel Evers, Reina Gonzalez, Rhea Ripley, Taynara Conti, Toni Storm and Xia Li) as well as Kaitlyn, Ashley Rayne and Deonna Purrazzo, and momentarily the women from the NXT UK tournament special (Isla Dawn, Jinny and Killer Kelly). The rest were just names and faces for the most part.

I actually didn't get any good read on any of them as potential winners, so my gut reaction was to just throw my hands up in the air and say "I don't know, they seemed to make a big deal abut Io Shirai and Tegan Nox. Let's go with one of those two."


Since the tapings are going to spoil mostly everything, it's hard for me to give predictions without even knowing the bracket structure at the time. However, in a general sense, I'd say Io Shirai stands out to me as the potential winner.

Mia Yim vs. Mercedes Martinez
Rhea Ripley vs. Abbey Laith

Toni Storm vs. Dakota Kai
Candice LeRae vs. Rachel Evers

Bianca Belair vs. Lacey Evans
Nicole Savoy vs. Kairi Sane

PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW: I haven't ever seen anything from the majority of these women, but I was rooting for Tessa Blanchard and Santana Garrett, so I'm disappointed to hear they're out in Round 1. A few others I was interested in are gone, too, like Marti Belle and Sage Beckett. Candice LeRae, Rachel Evers and Dakota Kai are now my top three, and I know at least one is getting knocked out between LeRae and Evers, so that sucks. We'll see, though. Without knowing much about any of them, I could find myself really cheering for Toni Storm or Nicole Savoy or whomever.
