Assessing The Likelihood Of WWE.com’s 2019 Wishlist

4. John Cena & Becky Lynch Team Up On Mixed Match Challenge

What WWE.com Wants: To capitalise on the recent interactions between John Cena and Becky Lynch by making them a crucial part of WWE's third Mixed Match Challenge on Facebook Watch. Assuming they run a third, that is.

How Likely It is: Stranger things have happened.

MMC has become a rather inconsequential concept, truth be told. That's the main thing holding this back, and yet WWE could inject some life into the tourney's fading importance by putting star names like these in the brackets. Cena and Lynch have some history anyway, and they'd either be outright winners or a kayfabe disaster due to Becky's dismissive attitude.

If nothing else, there's some intrigue there. A quick look at the teams for MMC's second season show that even WWE are losing interest in the idea though. Would they really want to see if stars the magnitude of Cena and Lynch could rescue it? Third time's a charm and all that.
