5 things that could happen on SmackDown Live next week

#4 Tons of hype for the Mixed Match Challenge

The Mixed Match Challenge begins next week

The Mixed Match Challenge tournament begins next Tuesday night after SmackDown Live, and I expect that on both brands, there will be match-ups featuring women seconding their male partners for matches and vice versa.

With the way the teams are set up, there are a lot of important feuds going on featuring wrestlers that probably won’t be appearing on TV together, so chances are that there will be tons of external hype (showing videos and social media stuff, etc.) but the matches will feature men and women not doing too much.

I expect that Goldust will probably be in the corner of his partner Alicia Fox, likely against Bayley with Elias in her corner on RAW.

SmackDown Live will see Big E or Carmella vs. Rusev or Lana. It’ll probably be the men since they’ll do a women’s one on RAW. Or it could be vice versa. I do think it will happen, though.
