Natalya and Shinsuke Nakamura represent a hardcore wrestling fan's dream team. Here, you have a woman who has pinned down WWE's female division for well over a decade and always does a job when asked. Then, her partner is a guy who has yet to get going in the company but is capable of special moments inside the ring.

There's just one thing wrong: Nattie and Naka are up against Sasha Banks and Finn Bálor in the opening match on Tuesday. The match quality will be high, but the draw also means Shinsuke and Natalya are likely to be ousted from the brackets quickly. Maybe they'll then be voted back in by fans at the semi final stage.

That'll happen in week 11. If it does, and depending on who's left by that point, the team have a chance of winning it all.

Likelihood Of Winning: Fair. Could be the team voted in by fans for a second chance.
