Quarterfinals set for WWE Last Time Is Now tournament, bracket revealed
Following WWE SmackDown, the quarterfinals for The Last Time Is Now tournament are now set.
Two more men advanced from the opening round on Friday when Carmelo Hayes and Penta won their respective matches. Hayes was the first to advance on Friday, defeating Bronson Reed by countout. Cody Rhodes, who was battered earlier in the night by The Vision ahead of their War Games match at Survivor Series, came out and jumped Reed, pushing him into the steel post. After Rhodes laid him out further with the crossroads, Reed was unable to make it to the ring before the ten count giving Hayes the victory.
In the second opening round match, Penta defeated Finn Balor after hitting the Mexican destroyer.
After their wins, WWE then revealed the brackets for the remaining matches of the tournament. On one side, Jey Uso will take on Rusev with the winner meeting the winner between LA Knight and a mystery opponent after Sheamus was pulled from the tournament due to a shoulder injury. On the other side, Penta will face Finn Balor with the winner facing either Solo Sikoa or Carmelo Hayes.
The winner of the tournament will face John Cena in his last-ever match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C..
