Huh. These brackets seem conducive to an Omega win, which would throw yet another interesting wrinkle into the idea of Cody taking the IWGP Heavyweight Title from Okada on this weekend.

he either wins it all or Elgin does. I don't know if I want Omega to win it since it means he deviates from the world title
