It will be very interesting to see if the two Chosen Bros\u00a0will be going against each other in the tournament. Matt Riddle will be going in as one of the favorites after the success he had in the 2017 edition. Matt Sydal is the right choice when it comes to finding someone that matches the high flying move set of Rey Fenix.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
