Reports coming out of South America are indicating WWE could be looking at organizing a tournament in Chile this summer. The tournament would follow a similar single-elimination format as the previous Cruiserweight Classic, UK Tournament, and Mae Young Classic tournaments have in recent years.

Planeta Wrestling is reporting that WWE is looking at holding the event in Chile as house shows have previously been successful in the country. The tournament will be open to any wrestler from South America.

WWE spent much of 2017 trying to break into the India market. Their attempts concluded with a house show in the country. WWE had scheduled 2 house shows in India but was forced to cancel one of them due to limited demand. WWE organized an extra show in Abu Dhabi on the tour as a result.

If WWE is planning to organize a Latin American tournament in Chile this summer, it could indicate the company plans to double-down their efforts to create stars in South American countries.
