The debuting El Hijo del Fantasma signed with WWE in August 2019 but would suffer a knee injury shortly thereafter that prevented him from wrestling for several months. And, he has not competed on television as of yet. The Mexican Superstar is best known for his work as King Cuerno in Lucha Underground.

Meanwhile, the tournament is split into two groups, with Kushida, Drake Maverick, Tony Nese and Jake Atlas in one group, and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, El Hijo del Fantasma, Akira Tozawa and Jack Gallagher in the other.

Each Superstar will compete against each of the three other members of their group and the Superstar with the best record in each group will advance to the Championship match.

WWE have confirmed that any ties will be broken by head-to-head record.
