WWE is all set to create history with the Mixed Match Challenge contest. It will be the very first time that a live match contest will be hosted on the social media platform. With the tech giants gradually taking over the world all around, this was another path-breaking idea by the WWE to announce a show exclusively on Facebook, in a live format.
Starting from January 16th, the tournament will be seeing a male superstar teaming up with a female one to take on another pair. The winner of the series will get an amount of $100000 that will get used for charity purposes. WWE legend, Beth Phoenix will be present on the commentary table alongside Corey Graves and Michael Cole.
Recently, Kurt Angle and Daniel Bryan have announced the two first teams from Raw and Smackdown Live, respectively. Bobby Roode and Charlotte Flair will team up from the blue brand, whereas, Braun Strowman will team up with Alexa Bliss. Initially, Bliss was shocked to get her partner. However, later she was more than happy to get such a strong partner like him.

But, Bliss’s real-life bestie, Nia Jax was not at all happy with this announcement. In case you don’t know, the behemoth from WWE Raw women’s division is also a part of the Mixed Match Challenge contest and is yet to receive a partner for herself.
Really @RealKurtAngle why do you hate me?! First you take out @real1 & then you do this!?! The people wanted Braun & Nia….not cool Kurt…NOT COOL!! Btw…Enzo is feeling better, my chicken soup works wonders ?? https://t.co/9cv5N5WrFB

Initially, she was gunning to get Braun Strowman by her side creating the biggest team in this series. Since she is playing a love interest from Enzo Amore for quite sometimes, it was later expected that these two would team up.
However, Enzo was removed from the contest due to illness and hence, Nia Jax expected to get Strowman as a partner.
So, the latest pairing shocked the Samoan superstar, and she vented out frustration on the WWE Raw GM. She did not spare Alexa Bliss too with trash talks. It indicates that there might be a feud in-store between these two shortly.
