WWE Mixed Match Challenge - Season 2 is an ongoing professional wrestling internet television series and tournament produced by WWE, where all matches are mixed tag team matches.
The second season premiered on September 18, 2018 on Facebook Watch, as announced on September 4. In the second season, teams will not compete for charity. They will also compete round robin-style on fourteen 30-minute, two match episodes. The finals of season 2 will take place at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event on December 16, 2018.
Injuries
Alexa Bliss was originally supposed to take part in the tournament again alongside her partner, Braun Strowman, to reform "Team Little Big." However, due to an arm injury suffered at Hell in a Cell at the hands of Ronda Rousey, Ember Moon replaced Bliss to form "Team Monster Eclipse." If Bliss is cleared to compete before Strowman and Moon are eliminated, Bliss will resume her partnership with Strowman.
Sasha Banks was also supposed to take part in the tournament alongside her partner Bobby Lashley, but it was announced on September 21, 2018 that Banks was injured and unable to compete in the tournament. Mickie James replaced Banks as Lashley's partner.
Kevin Owens was originally part of the tournament alongside his partner, Natalya, to form "Team Pawz," but it was announced on October 9, 2018 that Owens suffered an ankle injury the previous night on Raw at the hands of Lashley, leaving Natalya looking for a new teammate. On October 12, 2018, Bobby Roode, who was Charlotte Flair's partner during season one, was chosen as Natalya's new partner.
