Mixed Match Challenge Round 2 Predictions

Round 2: Second Match, March 6, 2018 - Team Little Big vs Day Glow-ish

Braun and Alexa have been fan favourite of the MMC, but will that be enough?

The second round matches up will see Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss take on the husband-wife duo of Jimmy Uso and Naomi. This match marks a first in WWE as Braun and Jimmy have never faced off against each other in any fashion. So, how do the teams match up?

On the men's side: Braun Strowman is currently one of the most popular babyfaces on the entire WWE roster. His charisma and character work has captured the audience's attention and love.

Jimmy Uso, on the other hand, is currently one half of the Smackdown Tag Team champions and enjoying one of the best runs of his career.

They match up quite well with each other in terms of popularity and booking protection, but Jimmy does have a drawback. Singles stars are typically higher up on the booking hierarchy than tag team wrestlers. Despite Jimmy Uso being the champion, Braun should be favored in this matchup.

On the women's side: Naomi and Alexa Bliss have some history together. Naomi won her first and second women's title from Bliss, giving her a clear advantage over Bliss. Not only that, but WWE seems to value Naomi over Bliss. Bliss has started taking losses more frequently on Raw and may lose her title in the Elimination Chamber Sunday.

She is not in the best standing right now. Despite how talented Bliss is, Naomi has the edge in this matchup. However, if Bliss still has her title after Elimination Chamber, Bliss will have the edge.

Overall team match up: Team Little Big is probably the most over team in the entire mixed match challenge, with Day Glow-ish not too far behind. Jimmy and Naomi were a surprising highlight of the tournament against Goldust and Mandy Rose (If you haven't seen the match, I recommend you go watch it).

The match is harder to call than anyone would expect, but given that WWE will want two Raw teams to face-off in the semi-finals, I'm going to have to go Raw over Smackdown.

Prediction: Alexa Bliss pins Naomi after a twisted Bliss from Braun's shoulders.
