7 Things WWE Must Do In The Mixed Match Challenge

5. Write In Some Team Miscommunication

Not every tag-team in the MMC should get along like pals for the whole tournament. Otherwise, WWE's decision to match up random pairings like Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch or Asuka and The Miz would be rendered pointless. Let's see some old-school miscommunication during some of the matches.

WWE have the chance to write a few short stories which progress in parallel with the tournament. Take Becky and Sami, for example: one is a fiery female babyface and the other a condescending heel who turned his back on the fans in favour of friendship with Kevin Owens. That shouldn't sit well with Lynch. She likes to stand up for those who support her.

Penning a quick tale of disharmony or distrust would be easy for the writers here. Becky, as the 'good' part of the team, would be wary of Sami's 'bad'. It goes both ways too, because Zayn could also lecture Lynch for playing to the fans during their matches and leaving them open to attack from rival teams.
