Mixed Match Challenge Results – January 30, 2018

Mixed Match Challenge Episode #3
Date: January 30, 2018
Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Beth Phoenix

We’re back with another week and that means another mixed tag match, albeit after some entertaining promos. The interesting thing about this so far has been a pretty weak live audience but a rather strong audience of people watching later. That being said, the audience is tuning in to watch later, meaning there is an interest in the show. Let’s get to it.

You can vote on whether you want Becky Lynch or Sami Zayn to start the match.

Earlier today, Lynch and Zayn met with some UNICEF representatives and did a little dance.

Earlier today, Braun Strowman gave Alexa Bliss, in a Braun sized shirt, car flipping lessons. Strowman broke down the physics of it and Bliss left, saying she had a better idea.

First Round: Sami Zayn/Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss/Braun Strowman

Sami and Becky snap their fingers at them and it’s Becky winning the poll to start the match. Becky takes Bliss down to start and rubs her head but the Disarm-Her sends Bliss bailing to the ropes.  Back up and Becky does Sami’s dance, sending Sami into hysterics on the apron. Becky grabs a Tumbleweed and neither of them can stand up straight, sending Bliss to the wrong corner for a tag. For some reason isn’t not off to Strowman, even though the fans want to see him.

Bliss decides to slap Braun for a tag so Sami calls him a meathead. In the smartest thing he could do, Sami bails to the floor and calls Strowman a chicken for not following him. The chase is on but Sami gets caught, only to slip out and IMMEDIATELY tag Becky back in. Bliss’ cheap shot works well enough and we’re off to the chinlock. We use the time to look at Bobby Roode and Charlotte live chatting the show as a RUSEV DAY chant starts up.

Sami starts the crowd on a chorus of HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Becky, drawing her to her feet for the hot tag. Strowman misses a charge and falls to the floor, only to catch Sami’s dive without much effort. Sami gets launched over the barricade and Becky is posted, setting up the skyscraper Twisted Bliss (off Braun’s shoulders) for the pin on Becky at 11:13.

Result: Braun Strowman/Alexa Bliss b. Sami Zayn/Becky Lynch – Skyscraper Twisted Bliss to Lynch (11:13)

Jimmy Uso and Naomi don’t care who Goldust has to replace the injured Alicia Fox because they’ll feel the Glow in the Uso Penitentiary.

Goldust’s new partner: Mandy Rose.

Strowman and Bliss say this was a team effort, and they even find each other cute. Bliss: “We’re going all the way.” To win the tournament she means.
