10 Early Round Match-Ups to Watch
After reviewing the brackets, we identified ten potential early-round (first or second round) matches in the tournament that we found particularly intriguing. While some of these matchups occur in the second round, it’s worth noting that one wrestler will need to secure victory in their first match to advance to these bouts. These contests have the potential to be some of the most exciting matches on Thursday morning, setting the stage for an energized crowd from the outset. Keep a lookout for these matchups—they could deliver some thrilling action.
