The race to be the man who takes on John Cena in his last match is on. The historic match will happen on the December 13 version of Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C.

The Last Time is Now Tournament started with 16 WWE Superstars, and the sphere has been trimmed to 10 heading into Friday Night time Smackdown.

This is who’s left with all the thriller spots crammed.

This subject might be trimmed to eight on Smackdown, and we’ll transfer into the quarterfinals. On Friday, Hayes takes on Reed and Balor battles Penta within the final of the first-round matches..

The winner of Hayes-Reed and Balor-Penta will presumably transfer on to tackle Sikoa or Gunther, each of whom received their first-round matches over Dolph Ziggler and Je’Von Evans, respectively.

Some count on that portion to happen on the following episode of Uncooked. There’s additionally an opportunity the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds may very well be settled in a pair of Deadly 4 Approach matches.

A lot of the particulars have but to be confirmed. What’s additionally not confirmed is whether or not the winner of the event might be dealing with Cena because the Intercontinental champion. Cena dethroned Dominik Mysterio on Uncooked in Boston on November 10.

Mysterio will problem Cena in a rematch at Survivor Series in San Diego on November 29. If Cena efficiently defends, the winner of the Final Time is Now Event will get a shot on the title. That will add even larger stakes to the matchup.

If Cena drops the title to Dom at Survivor Sequence — a possible end result contemplating San Diego is Mysterio’s hometown — it will be fascinating to see how the match at SNME is bought. It is a superb alternative for somebody to get a big push, however fairly actually, the one folks remaining within the event who stand to realize from that elevation are: Penta (could be his first title in WWE), Reed (identical), Hayes (identical), Balor (rebirth), Knight (rebirth), Sheamus (the one title he hasn’t held), and Rusev (a brand new push upon returning to WWE).

Gunther and Uso do not want this title in any respect. You may make the argument that Sikoa does not want it both.

As it’s, we’re ready on the following developments, and I am going to observe up with updates to the bracket after Smackdown.
