Alexa Bliss Injured, What Is Her Mixed Match Challenge Status?

Hopefully it’s little instead of big. Earlier this year, the first season of Mixed Match Challenge featured a variety of teams being thrown together to compete in a tournament. One of the most successful was Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman, who turned out to have some outstanding chemistry. It was a no brainer to bring them back for the second season, though there is a bit of a hiccup.

As announced on WWE’s YouTube channel, Bliss has suffered an arm injury and won’t be able to participate in this week’s Mixed Match Challenge debut. Bliss was scheduled to team with Strowman to face Kevin Owens and Natalya but Ember Moon has been chosen to replace her. There is no word on how long Bliss will be out, but she will be back in the Mixed Match Challenge as soon as she is healthy.

Here’s WWE’s official announcement:

Ember Moon to replace Alexa Bliss as Braun Strowman's partner tonight on WWE MMC

Opinion: Aside from the obvious reasons, I hope Bliss is back in the ring in a hurry. The team of Bliss and Strowman is one of the most entertaining things that WWE has put together in a long time and they can tease the heck out of a variety of things from the team, just for the sake of the great comedy. Bliss can come back and take her spot back whenever she’s ready, but they need to make sure that she’s ready.

What do you think of Strowman and Bliss’ team? Was Moon the right choice to replace her? Let us know in the comments below.
