Mixed Match Challenge continued last night on Facebook Watch. It airs live on the social media platform immediately after Smackdown Live concludes. It came up with eighth episode of the second season with two more entertaining matches. Two teams from both Raw and Smackdown Live competed to keep their place in the tournament.
In the first Mixed Match Challenge contest, two strong contenders to win the contest, collided. Team Country Dominance (Bobby Lashley and Mickie James) were up against Team BnB (Finn Balor and Bobby Lashley). Both these teams won their respective previous matches. So they were ready for a hard-hitting battle to continue momentums.
Bayley and Mickie James kicked off this Mixed Match Challenge contest. After a back and forth going, Lashley and Balor entered the match. Balor went to the top rope when Lashley shoved him off there to take control of the match. Finn hit a drop-kick on Lashley to take control of the match. But Mickie James interfered to give it back to Lashley.
Bayley and Mickie James went at it again as the later one hit her with a super-kick. Balor broke up the pinfall as Lio Rush interrupted the match. This led Finn Balor to chase Lio Rush around the ring. Balor went to knock down Lio with a top rope jump when Lashley caught him to knock down on the floor. Bayley caught Rush with a Bayley-to-belly but Mickie James caught her with a super-kick to pick up the win. Team Country Dominance remained on a winning streak via this win.
Jimmy Uso and Naomi were up first from Smackdown Live. They went up against R-Truth and Carmella. The first team named Day One Glow already picked up two wins to make their place comfortable. However, the second team had yet to pick up a win. So it was a must-win situation for them.
The match started in a unique way i.e. a Rap Battle with various topics like Manchester, Bonnie & Clyde etc. They moved on to doing a dance break when Carmella took a cheap shot to Naomi to take advantage. She also spun her opponent round-and-around to go dizzy allowing Naomi to hit her with a fierce kick for the pinfall win. Team Day One Glow picked up back to back wins while Fabulous Truth remained winless in Mixed Match Challenge.
