The Mixed Match Challenge has been a unique content on WWE programming.
This is the very first show that is hosted on the social media platform, Facebook Watch since the day of beginning, January 16th. A number of mixed tag teams have taken part in this to donate $100000 million at the end of the contest.
The first round of the tournament witnessed twelve teams participating in this series. Six teams won their respective matches to advance to the second round of the tournament. Last week marked the beginning of the second round which can also be considered as the quarter-final of Mixed Match Challenge.
The first match was hosted between the team of Asuka and The Miz vs Sasha Banks and Finn Balor. The latter mentioned team was defeated by the former to get eliminated from the contest.
Last night marked the second matchup in the series. The match took place between Alexa Bliss-Braun Strowman against Jimmy Uso-Naomi.

Bliss and Strowman came out first and posed in the ring to start the night. Jimmy Uso and Naomi followed them, next. The former Smackdown Women’s Champion seriously got concerned about her husband who would be forced to face Strowman in no time.
These two started the match with Strowman controlling the earlier part. He squashed Uso with a splash in the corner. Alexa Bliss kept on shouting about finishing the job and hence he went right for a running powerslam. But, Jimmy got out of that and tagged her wife to get into the match.

Alexa Bliss was forced to get into the match and hit her opponent with a slap right into the face. Naomi hit her on the ropes to give a fitting reply. While this contest was going on inside the ring, one-half of the tag team champions connected with a super-kick to Braun Strowman. But, he stood tall on his feet and saved his partner from flying off the ring.

Aftermath, Jimmy paid for his mistakes, as Strowman planted him through the announce table to put him down, permanently. Inside the ring, Alexa Bliss rolled up Naomi to pick up the win and advance to the semi-final of Mixed Match Challenge contest. Next week, Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode will take on the team of Rusev and Lana in the last quarter-final match.
