It's been revealed today that the first SmackDown Live team for WWE's Mixed Match Challenge will be the formidable pairing of SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode.
Matching robes aside, these two seem like a perfect fit and it will be very interesting seeing how they fare together. Charlotte is, of course, a multi-time champion while Roode held the NXT Championship for a time before moving to the main roster (where he's bizarrely described as an "up-and-coming" talent despite actually being something of a veteran in the ring).
"We’ll work on the ’Woo,’" Charlotte assures her elated partner in the video below before adding: "Let’s get matching robes and win the Mixed Match Challenge!" The plan for this Facebook Watch tournament is for these unlikely couplings to attempt to win $100,000 for a charity of their choosing. It's also the first time WWE has attempted airing wrestling on a platform like this.
