OTIS OUT OF WORLDS COLLIDE TOURNAMENT

By Mike Johnson on 2019-01-22 20:00:00

WWE quietly removed Heavy Machiney's Otis Dozovic from this weekend's Worlds Collide tournament taking place over the course of the Royal Rumble AXXESS sessions in Phoenix, Arizona.  He has been replaced by Shane Thorne, formerly one half of TM-61.

The first-ever "Worlds Collide" tournament featuring talents from WWE NXT, 205 Live and NXT UK all competing.  The idea is that fans attending will get to see cross-brand matches that they normally would not be able to see.   The tournament will be taped for a future WWE Network special. 

WWE has announced the following competitors will be involved in the tournament:

Representing NXT: Adam Cole, The  Velveteen Dream, Dominik Dijakovic, Keith Lee, and Shane Thorne.

Representing NXT UK: Mark Andrews, Tyler Bate, Travis Banks, Jordan Devlin and Zack Gibson.

Representing 205 Live: Cedric Alexander, Humberto Carrillo, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and TJP.

The tournament brackets will be determined by a battle royal being held during the Saturday AM AXXESS Session with the victor receiving a bye past the first round of the tournament.
