WWE Mixed Match Challenge Results: November 13, 2018
With only a month left before the finals of WWE Mixed Match Challenge Season 2, two of the best teams in the tournament face off in Monster Eclipse and Country Strong. Both Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley started off this season with unexpected partner swaps. Originally, Strowman was set to continue his run in MMC with Alexa Bliss, with Lashley teaming up with Sasha Banks. However, injuries to them both would force the two Monday Night Titans to find new teammates.
Luckily, both men found some impressive replacements in the likes of Ember Moon and Mickie James, who have helped lead Strowman and Lashley to undefeated records in the tournament. However, tonight, their paths would cross, and there would only be one undefeated team left standing.
Country Dominance (Mickie James & Bobby Lashley) w/Lio Rush vs Monster Eclipse (Ember Moon & Braun Strowman)
Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley are both on Monday Night Raw's Survivor Series team, but tonight, they were opponents. The two behemoths looked to lock horns and prove once and for all, which was better; The Monster or the Dominator?
Ember Moon and Mickie James began the match, tying each other up in the middle of the ring. The two stars looked to be at a stalemate for quite some time, trading pinfall attempts and counters repeatedly.
James eventually caught Moon with an octopus stretch.
During the match, SmackDown GM Paige told Charlotte that AJ Styles wouldn't be able to compete in the MMC tonight.
Moon fought out, only to crash into James with both women hitting clotheslines. After getting back to their feet, they tagged in their partners.
Strowman and Lashley attempted to overpower each other. Though Strowman had the strength advantage, Lashley was able to outmanoeuvre the big man, but not for long. Eventually, a big boog from Strowman sent the former ECW Champion to the mat.
Lio Rush distracted Strowman, allowing Lashley to send him into the corner with a clothesline. However, he countered Lashley's stalling suplex, then ordered Moon to go after Rush.
Moon was taken out by James, who tagged herself in to give Lashley a breather. Strowman chased Lio Rush around the ring, running through Bobby Lashley in the process. Meanwhile, after Moon caught James with a superkick, the Shenom put her opponent down with an Eclipse.
Results: Monster Eclipse defeated Country Strong.
With their victory tonight, Monster Eclipse found themselves at the top of Monday Night Raw's side of the Mixed Match Challenge.
Next week, Bobby Roode and Natalya will face Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox. Team Pawz and Mahalicia are both 0-3 at this point, but both teams have a chance to pick up their first win next week.
