WWE

There has been a spoiler on the eight participants set to be a part of the SmackDown World Cup, which kicks off tonight (November 11).

WWE announced the tournament on last week’s SmackDown, with eight stars from the blue brand set to battle it out for the trophy.

Alongside the trophy, the winner of the tournament will earn an Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther.

Per PWInsider, the following eight names are set to be a part of the tournament:

Braun Strowman

Shinsuke Nakamura

Sami Zayn

Santos Escobar

Rey Mysterio

Jinder Mahal

Butch

Ricochet

The tournament marks the return of Jinder Mahal to WWE television, whose last match on WWE television saw him and Shanky lose to the Viking Raiders on July 22.

This will be Mahal’s first match under the new Triple H regime.

The first match of the tournament is set for tonight’s show, with Shinsuke Nakamura taking on Santos Escobar in a match that was announced last week.

Various surprising names have been left out of the tournament, notably Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, who is set to return on tonight’s show.

Also set for tonight’s show is an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship clash between the Usos and the New Day.
