5 entertaining mixed tag team matches in WWE history
There are an endless number of match types and stipulations in professional wrestling, from cage matches to bras and panties matches, but perhaps none have been as under-utilised, at least in the case of WW, than the mixed tag team match.Of the few that there have been, many of them are pointless and not good, an example being an outageously booked “6-being interspecies” match on an episode of SmackDown earlier this year, in which Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Natalya took on Los Matadores and El Torito.Other than examples like that, there have been a few entertaining ones, which this articles will look at. So, here are five examples of good mixed tag team matches in WWE history.
#1 Matt Hardy and Lita vs. Tyson Tomko and Trish Stratus: Raw, June 14, 2004
Around the time Trish Stratus and Lita were high atop the women’s division and feuding like bitter, bitter enemies, Lita had formed an alliance with Matt Hardy (not really alliance, more relationship) and had supposedly had back up, until one night on Raw, when Stratus had brought in her ‘insurance policy’, Tyson Tomko, and invoked a mixed tag team match between the four wrestlers.
It didn’t end well for Stratus and Tomko, though. After Lita gained the upper hand against Stratus, Tomko interfered (illegally), and was quickly taken out by Hardy. Following, Lita hit a DDT on Trish and pinned her for the victory.
The match was fun considering it slightly broke the rules of men not being able to hit women, with Tomko tossing Lita across the ring like he did.
