WWE: MITB Participants to Compete in Mixed Tag Team Match on Smackdown
Jun 3, 2018 at 7:13 PM
WWE started the process of hyping-up the MITB PPV event. The lineups for the upcoming ladder match is final. Eight superstars from the men and women’s division have qualified. They are set to receive a lifetime opportunity on June 17th.
One male and one female superstar will reach one step closer to become new world champions. We know by experience that holding the MITB briefcase guarantees to win the prime title in the near future. 15 out of previous 18 winners managed to cash-in the contract successfully.
Now we expect WWE will provide opportunities to the qualifiers to gain momentum. We already know a series of matches will take place on next week’s WWE Raw. The same will take place on Smackdown too. Charlotte and Becky Lynch will lock horns in a contest.

Two more MITB participants will have a face-off in a match. They are Naomi and Lana from the women’s division. These two participated in a dance-off that ended badly. The chaotic outcome helped the WWE officials to set up a matchup in totally different capacity.
Naomi will team up with the Uso Twins for the very first time. Rusev and Aiden English will also join Lana for the first time too.
This would set up a six-man mixed tag team action on Smackdown Live. We will witness such a contest featuring both male and female superstars after a long time.
We used to see such Mixed tag team actions during the past decade of the WWE. The programming was pretty much different back then when Attitude, Ruthless Aggression or PG Era was in progress. Superstars and Divas used to compete in the same match to give us entertaining matches.
NEXT WEEK on #SDLive:

We expect the same when these MITB participants square off. WWE has held Mixed Match Challenge with the same concept back in the winter season.
But this type of match did not take place in recent memory. The last time we witnessed this was in September 2016. Roman Reigns teamed up with Sasha Banks to defeat Rusev and Charlotte Flair on WWE Raw.
