Leon Ruff, Isaiah Swerve Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Dexter Lumis and LA Knight have it in them to assemble something entertaining here, but it's long been accepted that a gauntlet just doesn't guarantee greatness.

Quite the opposite in fact - for all people's memories of the KofiMania build are dominated by the headline moments and the cathartic conclusion, there were some draggy moments buried in the guts of those minute-gobbling matches. As there was when Seth Rollins wrestled for 16 straight hours to fill a Raw in 2018,

It's a workable formula but not a bankable one, not least when the story to find a contender for Johnny Gargano's North American Championship has been one of the weakest in brand history. It's genuinely tough to find the magic combination of wrestlers that'll make this awesome, and the victor will probably be the only guy Gargano's interacted with over the last couple of months anyway.

Winner - Dexter Lumis
