WWE has started the tradition of hosting a new show, Mixed Match Challenge on every Tuesday night which is a path-breaking idea. The contest is getting telecasted exclusively on Facebook Watch. This is the first-ever show in pro-wrestling history to be streamed on social media in a live format.
Till date, two matches have been organized. In the first match, the team of Sasha banks and Finn Balor defeated Natalya and Shinsuke Nakamura where the result of the second match went in the favor of The Miz & Asuka who defeated Big E & Carmella. The third match in the series was hosted last night following Smackdown Live.
As per the schedule, Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman from WWE Raw took on against the names from Smackdown Live, Sami Zayn, and Becky Lynch. The latter duo mentioned started came out first following the superstars from the flagship show. In an interesting vote received on Facebook, 69 percent of the fans wanted Becky Lynch to start the match.
Hence, the Irish Lass-kicker began the match against the WWE Raw Women’s Champion. Becky took the upper hand in the match controlling Bliss’ offenses. Multiple pinfalls were attempted by her in the earlier phase letting Bliss get out of the ring. She wasted no time to tag into Strowman who was not happy.

This led Sami Zayn into the contest, as well who was in fear of facing the behemoth standing in front of him. So, he quickly tagged back into his partner with the two ladies going at it, once again. For the better part of the match, Zayn kept on taunting the monster among men from the ringside. So, Strowman charged and planted him into the crowd.

Thereafter the match was ended in style by the ‘five-feet of fury’ which is as follows: (courtesy WWE.com)
“After Bliss hurled Lynch into the ring post and Strowman launched Zayn over the ring barrier and into the WWE Universe, The Monster Among Men tagged his pint-sized partner. In a stunning finish, Bliss climbed onto Strowman’s shoulders and executed an earth-shattering Twisted Bliss off her partner and onto Becky for the victory!”

Following the match, Team Alexa and Strowman were interviewed by Renee Young. They seemed quite good with partnering with each other and looked pretty confident to win the entire contest.
