The Gold League definitely intrigues me. My instinct is that Kingston beats Andrade to meet Danielson in the finals, but I think that also would require Brody to lose to Garcia which I'm not so sold on, but it's definitely a possibility. Personally though I would probably prefer Andrade to win and go ahead and meet Danielson in the finals, I would just be slightly surprised at them eliminating Kingston before the league finals.

 

[Hoss]

Wildest scenario would be Andrade, Claudio and Brody win their matches, and there's a three way tie between Danielson, Claudio and Brody who would all be 1-1 against the other two.

I think Brody is losing to Garcia for sure to make that side easier, I'm pretty sold that it's gonna be Eddie/Danielson in the semis for that one

We ran down the scenarios on the podcast Sunday and it seems fairly predictable going into the last week to end up Danielson/Kingston and Swerve/Moxley but Jay White could def fuck that one up, I think Jeff is picking a 3 way tie there which would happen if Jay beats Moxley bc they'd all have tiebreaks over each other

I said it on the pod a few weeks back but I think Eddie wins out and retains. And goes through Danielson and Mox to do it

 

[Comrade Khan]

sticking with my Jay White Kingston final with Jay winning out

This is becoming my preferred scenario too, it's by far the best story I think but a few other scenarios would also be great, but I think Eddie should win.

even the bracket is looking spicy for all those involved, with one round left.
