December 14, 20178 yr The social giant has secured exclusive rights to a live weekly show from WWE, “Mixed Match Challenge.” The 12-episode series is designed as a single-elimination, tag-team tournament pitting male and female stars from its Raw and SmackDown Live rosters — and will let fans get in on the action by voting on certain elements of the matches. The show will stream live in the U.S. exclusively on Facebook's Watch platform on Tuesday nights, starting Jan. 16 at 10 p.m. ET, following “SmackDown Live” on USA Network.

December 14, 20178 yr Author Each of the twelve episodes will be 20 minutes in length. I think it's interesting enough, and I wonder how much of this is to apply pressure to USA with upcoming TV contract negotiations.
December 14, 20178 yr Author Also from the article: WWE is slated to announce the tag-team partners for the show Jan. 4. The “Monday Night Raw” roster includes Alexa Bliss; Alicia Fox; Asuka; Bayley; Braun Strowman; Enzo Amore; Finn Bálor; Nia Jax; Goldust; Sasha Banks; and The Miz. From “SmackDown Live,” the lineup includes Becky Lynch; Bobby Roode; Carmella; Charlotte Flair; Jimmy Uso; Lana; Naomi; Natalya; Rusev; Sami Zayn; Shinsuke Nakamura; and the fan-voted member of The New Day.
December 20, 20178 yr Author To me the WWE is already way over saturated. This is too much. We agree on this, but at least this is a limited thing rather than an ongoing thing.
December 20, 20178 yr Author I think this is mostly about putting pressure on USA, but WWE is also dipping its toe in the non-television market. So this is less about WWE thinking it needs more programming than it is trying to increase its media money.

January 3, 20188 yr Teams announced so far: Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss Bobby Roode & Charlotte Flair The smallest and the biggest together as a team, lol.
January 3, 20188 yr Author The smallest and the biggest together as a team, lol. Yep. And then there's team Flamboyant Robe. :lol2:
January 4, 20188 yr Author Two more teams announced, giving us: Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss Bobby Roode & Charlotte Flair Finn Balor & Sasha Banks Rusev & Lana
January 4, 20188 yr Hopefully at some point the WWE will have Bliss manage Braun. She has experience managing in NXT and I think it would be a very fun story line for everyone involved.

January 9, 20188 yr Author Hopefully at some point the WWE will have Bliss manage Braun. She has experience managing in NXT and I think it would be a very fun story line for everyone involved. She'd be great for that, but I'd hate to see her leave the women's division.
January 9, 20188 yr She'd be great for that, but I'd hate to see her leave the women's division. Could you imagine the Monster among Men being under the spell of Alexa Bliss!
