Jimmy Uso to team with his wife Naomi at WWE Mixed Match Challenge
Both brilliant competitors possess dynamic personalities and have an explosive in-ring style. Jimmy is battled-tested as a tag team specialist, not only as one-half of the reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but also as a five-time overall Tag Team Champion. Not to be outdone, Naomi is a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion currently poised to enter the first-ever 30-Woman Over-the-Top Royal Rumble.When you add in the natural chemistry of the loving married couple, something most teams in the tournament will have to struggle to develop in a short time, you end up with a recipe for WWE Mixed Match Challenge success that will definitely leave the WWE Universe feeling the glow!
Together, Jimmy Uso and Naomi will go to battle in a revolutionary tournament that will take place exclusively on Facebook Watch, where unlikely male-female WWE Superstar pairings will attempt to win $100,000 for a charity of their choice. Each showdown in the competition will follow traditional Mixed Tag Team Match rules: When tagged, male Superstars face off with the opposing team’s male competitor and female Superstars battle fellow female competitors.
