When the initial list of names for the Mixed Match Challenge dropped, Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch, two happy go lucky wrestlers if there ever were happy go lucky wrestlers, appeared to be a natural fit, even with Zayn having gone to the dark side in recent months.
That’s why this isn’t a surprise:
REJOICE!!! #SDLive's @BeckyLynchWWE and @SamiZayn will bring out the BEST in one another when they team up in the @WWE Mixed Match Challenge! #WWEMMC pic.twitter.com/PKAEByoaL8

They’re making it interesting right away by having Becky profess a desire to bring the old Sami back and Zayn equally excited to bring Lynch closer to his side, which he believes will bring out the best in her.
This should be great fun!
Only one team left after this:
Lana and Rusev
Finn Balor and Sasha Banks
Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode
Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss
Jimmy Uso and Naomi
Nia Jax and Apollo Crews
The Miz and Asuka
Goldust and Alicia Fox
Elias and Bayley
Shinsuke Nakamura and Natalya
This means Carmella will be paired with whichever member of New Day wins the fan vote.
