The one-night National title tournament will see a preliminary round of two four-man elimination matches with the winner of each advancing to the finals later in the night. With young stars representing the future and experienced talent with past connections to the Alliance, the tournament could steal the show.

Match A will see Willie Mack, Jay Bradley, Mike Parrow, and Ricky Starks battle. Starks is the smallest of the four, but his confidence easily outweighs the others. Major League Wrestling's Parrow has captured attention thanks to his mammoth size and surprising high-flying ability. Meanwhile, Bradley is a former WWE developmental talent and TNA star. And as part of Lucha Underground and IMAPCT, Mack is one of the most promising wrestlers of this era.

Match B will feature Sammy Guevara, Scorpio Sky, Sam Shaw, and Colt Cabana. Shaw reached prominence in TNA, while Sky has been tearing it up as part of Ring of Honor's SCU. Guevara may be the youngest of the four but has experience in EVOLVE, MLW, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. And of course, Colt Cabana is one of the most well-known and acclaimed independent wrestlers of the past decade -- as well as a former NWA Worlds Champion.
