It was not specified whether the remaining first-round matches will play on Tuesday&#8217;s Smackdown or when the finals will take place, but I suspect we&#8217;ll get the first-round matches on Tuesday. Meanwhile, WWE has not provided any storyline logic as to why these eight wrestlers were selected for the tournament.<\/p>\n<p><b>NEW:<\/b> You can now support Prowrestling.net when you shop Amazon.
