WWE News: Jimmy Uso did not want to Team up with Naomi for MMC

The Mixed Match Challenge is underway in the WWE starting from January 16. It is a unique concept where numerous male superstars would team up with female ones to take another such pair in a knockout tournament.

The winner of the series will receive a handsome amount which will be donated for charity purposes.

Now, some of the pairs in this contest were chosen by the general managers from Raw and Smackdown whereas some more was paired up since they were real-life couples.

The likes of Naomi-Jimmy Uso and Rusev-Lana were paired due to this. Recently, the former Smackdown women’s champion, Naomi revealed a strange experience where her husband did not want to team up with her in this contest.

The interview was given on TV Insider with info brought to you by cagesideseats.com. Naomi revealed that she was willing to work with one of the veteran tag team players in the WWE for a long time.

However, Jimmy did not want to team up with her wife since he believes that she would listen to her.

Check out her words:

“I wanted to work with him and team up with him, but he doesn’t really want to team up with me. He thinks I don’t listen. I tell him I will listen and do whatever he tells me to do. He goes, ‘No you won’t.’”

It’s a fact that WWE did not conduct any storyline featuring these two on TV. In general, the company takes their time to reveal the real-life identity like they did for John Cena-Nikki Bella or Renee Young-Dean Ambrose.

This will be the first time that Uso and Naomi will be working together for taped purposes in the WWE.

The one with the GLOW gimmick also disclosed that she wished to work with some other names from the Smackdown roster in order to have fun.

However, later the real-life pair was retained due to WWE’s strategy and they ended up being a team. This is further quotes from Naomi,

“It would fun to be with someone else like New Day or Nakamura or Rusev. Teaming up with Rusev would have been very entertaining because we can get on each other’s nerves all the time. And I’m the complete opposite of his ravishing wife Lana. We’ll see how it all goes.”
