The announcement was done by Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce on last night’s episode of Smackdown.
Four-way qualifying matches will act as the first round of these tournaments and these will be brand specific. The following week the second round will have Raw vs Smackdown matches and then whoever wins those second round matches move on to the finals.
