WWE also reported that Amore was in the hospital as a result, which is why he was not on “Raw” this past week.
You can see a clip regarding the announcement below:
The series of 12 episodes will see the winners of the single-elimination mixed tag team tournament win $100, 000 to support any charity of their choice.
Storylines for the matches are to be built using videos and other content across the various WWE social media pages. Each episode is 20-minute episode will be filmed in the same venue that WWE films the episode of ‘Smackdown Live’ that airs before it. It will rely heavily on fan interaction online.
Editor’s Opinion:
This isn’t too big of a deal; I have a feeling that this illness will have more of an effect on “205 Live” and the Cruiserweight Division.
