Love that they did legit weigh ins too. One guy didn't make 205 & they had replacements there if such thing happened. Big Tapout logo on the mat & made it seem like a legit tournament. It's different therefore it's awesome. Here are the matches for the first round, no spoilers, not sure if thesis the correct bracketing though, but I know these are the pairings...
Premieres Wednesday, July 13th on the WWE Network:
* Gran Metalik vs. Alejandro Saez
* Ho Ho Lun vs. Ariya Daivari
* Clement Petiot vs. Cedric Alexander
* The Brian Kendrick vs. Raul Mendoza
* Tajiri vs. Damian Slater
* TJ Perkins vs. Da Mack
* Lince Dorado vs. Mustafa Ali
* Akira Tozawa vs. Kenneth Johnson
* Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Tyson Dux
* Drew Gulak vs. Harv Shira
* Tony Nese vs. Anthony Bennett
* Kota Ibushi vs. Sean Maluta
* Rich Swann vs. Jason Lee
* Noam Dar vs. Gurv Shira
* Jack Gallagher vs. Fabian Aichner
* Johnny Gargano vs. Tomasso Ciampa

I didn't think they'd go to Gargano and ciampa in the first round.

Code of Honor by both men before the match? I like it.
I like having Corey Graves in the Control Room too. Makes me miss Sean Mooney in the Event Center.

Interested to see the Davari kid.

No code of honor from the heel.

Bryan & Mauro are fantastic at selling how brutal the finish was too.
Not like JBL who constantly is telling RoFlo to turn on the TV. Ugh....you suck John.

No code of honor from the heel. I think I'm 3-4 minutes behind you. But I assumed Daivari wasn't shaking hands.
They're just now showing the video package. Happy they showed that he's Shawn Daivari's brother.

If you want to hate JBL for being a sellout, I'm fine with it. But he's doing a shitty role. Trust me, I know Vince is in his ear, but he can still change up his style a bit. He didn't always suck. When he first started on Smackdown, he was pretty darn good. Now the entire trio on commentary is unbearable.
I love the look of this show. Completely different from NXT, which is good.

Mild upset there with Lun getting the win with a German suplex.

Welp, I guess Ibushi's match is the main event of the show & not Kendricks like how it was shot. Like they're switching things up.

Of course the Frenchman is the heel.

Yes. And Ibushi needed a change of scenery since he had gotten stale in Japan before his injury.
