Powell’s POV: The tournament starts on Tuesday’s NXT television show. The NXT and AAA Tag Team Champions have first-round byes. We know which teams will be on each side of the bracket, but the actual opening round matches have yet to be announced. While I wish there were another team or two from the main roster, it’s a nice mix of teams from the WWE main roster, NXT, AAA, and Evolve.
