#2 WWE World Cup Tournament to decide the 'Best in the World'

With John Cena's reluctance to participate in the popular event, inserting Bobby Lashley in the mix could prove beneficial, considering that his heel turn could be something special.

The eight competitors include some of the most talented in-ring performers this company has ever seen, with superstars from both Raw and SmackDown competing to prove their worth as the 'Best in the World'.

While that nickname might be reserved for a certain straight-edge superstar, the encounters in this tournament could be pretty incredible, with Seth Rollins Vs. Kurt Angle or Jeff Hardy Vs. Rey Mysterio likely to take place in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Judging by the tournament bracket that has been finalized and the kind of pace this tournament demands, it definitely seems that the company would go with someone that is more athletic and go the distance to perform something brilliant between the ropes.

My semi-final picks would be Jeff Hardy Vs. Rey Mysterio from the blue brand, and Seth Rollins Vs. Kurt Angle from the red brand, with Rollins and Jeff Hardy competing in the finals of the World Cup tournament.

With Shane McMahon announcing that the loser of the tournament representing blue brand might be forced to exit the show, it seems likely that maybe the Architect would be successful in outshining the Charismatic Enigma.
