That sounds very interesting, the thing I can see is the Mercury vs Pyrrha fight, the Jaune vs Cardin fight (if this one doesn't happen, I'm sure everyone is going to be disappointed), I can also see Emerald loosing due to overconfidence. I can't see Jaune winning the tournament though but I can see Mercury and Emerald underestimating him and subsequently, he won due to a combination of that fact and beginner's luck. After all, I won't be surprised if he completely flew under their radar during that time when Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were discussing strong fighters.

I like the idea of Jaune winning the tournament (favoritism, it's a wonderful thing) but I sure hope it doesn't happen because like some people said, the fan backlash is gonna be great and I really don't want any other excuse for people to hate Jaune. It just makes me sad.
