Match no. 7: Randy Orton or Rey Mysterio vs. Jeff Hardy or The Miz
Match no. 8: Seth Rollins or Bobby Lashley vs. Kurt Angle or Dolph Ziggler
The bracket of the World Cup is so tight that it is not easy to predict the winners of the preliminary matches. The only match that could be entirely one-sided would be Kurt Angle's clash against Dolph Ziggler. However, the presence of Drew McIntyre on The Show Off's side would compensate whatever little advantage Kurt has.
The semi-final matches of the World Cup would go in the middle of the event. With two lengthy matches - the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match and the WWE Title match, the victors of round one would have ample time to take a rest.
WWE might even give us the dream match of Kurt Angle vs. Seth Rollins in the semifinals.
