The single-elimination will feature competitors from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
“The tournament is the next step in our ongoing strategy to create localized content for our global WWE Network, develop another brand that engages our passionate fans, and add a new dimension to our on-going storylines," Levesque said.
