BR KOTR Qualifiers and First Round Draw

Monday Afternoon is here, and you know what that means don't you? It's time for the Bleacher Report King of the Ring draw! The premise of the draw is this: There are 8 seeded superstars who will be given a bye through to the first round. The other 16 superstars are divided into 2 tiers. These are the groupings:

Tier 1 (Seeded Superstars):
Jack Swagger
The Miz
Matt Hardy
Drew McIntyre
Sheamus
Vladimir Kozlov
Christian
Chris Masters

Tier 2:
Ezekiel Jackson
MVP
Wade Barrett
Cody Rhodes
Ted DeBiase
Mark Henry
The Great Khali
Dolph Ziggler

Tier 3:
Alberto Del Rio
Evan Bourne
Santino Marella
John Morrison
Kofi Kingston
Shad Gaspard
David Hart Smith
Yoshi Tatsu

Each match will see one Tier 2 Superstar drawn against one Tier 3 superstar. The order in which the matches are drawn will also determine their first round opponent, as the seeded superstars have all been bracketed beforehand.

So, without further delay, I would like to unveil the draw for you:
