#5 Alexa Bliss challenged Randy Orton to an intergender match at WWE Fastlane
The latest bizarre turn in Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton's saga took place during this week's WWE RAW.
In a backstage segment, Bliss acknowledged how desperately Orton wanted to escape her mind games. However, she dared him to take a huge leap to get rid of her on the Road to WrestleMania 37. Bliss urged him to do something about his problems at the upcoming Fastlane pay-per-view.
Later in the night, Orton was asked about the challenge by Bliss. While it wasn't hinted at straight away, the challenge revolved around an intergender match between the two stars at WWE Fastlane. The Viper seemingly accepted Alexa's challenge and promised to kick her out of his life at Sunday's event.
