Mandy Rose replacing Alicia Fox in WWE Mixed Match Challenge
After Alicia Fox was pulled from the tournament due to injury, Goldust will be teaming with Mandy Rose in Mixed Match Challenge.
That announcement was made towards the end of last night’s episode. Goldust & Rose will be taking on Jimmy Uso & Naomi next Tuesday, and the winning team will go on to face Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss in week eight of the tournament.
Strowman & Bliss defeated Sami Zayn & Becky Lynch this week when Bliss jumped off Strowman’s shoulders and hit Twisted Bliss on Lynch.
WWE announced on Sunday night that Fox wouldn’t be competing in either the women’s Royal Rumble or Mixed Match Challenge because of an injury, which was revealed to be a broken tailbone.
Finn Balor & Sasha Banks, The Miz & Asuka, and Strowman & Bliss are the teams that have advanced in Mixed Match Challenge thus far. Goldust & Rose vs. Uso & Naomi, Elias & Bayley vs. Rusev & Lana, and Apollo Crews & Nia Jax vs. Bobby Roode & Charlotte Flair are the remaining first round matchups.
