They have been pushing it for weeks now. The big mixed match challenge that will be live on Facebook Watch and the winners charity will be $100k richer. Let's not get into how the WWE's homegrown charities, or the ones that are super close to the company are the ones that seem to have the teams that will be victorious in the end. Let's talk about the match itself. The first one at least..
The first match of Round One pits Finn Balor and Sasha Banks against the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Natalya.
On paper, this match has all of the dressing of being a classic. You have Finn and Shinsuke who are seasoned vets from the arena of NJPW, the dynasty of the Hart family that is Natalya and the always amazing Sasha Banks.
But what did we get?
Meh. That's about it. This match, for lack of better term, felt like filler. It felt like a match that you would see in the middle of the 2nd hour of RAW while the company is trying to fill time on the often over bloated program. You'd think that they would do something more special for the first match on a new platform. Go big or go home, as it were.
But in the end, none of that really matters does it? Deep down the real winners are the charities that get mentioned repeatedly on the air and the web and the one who is inevitably going to get the $100k. So that is reason enough to forgive the short comings in this match.
At least we get to see Braun destroy everyone. That'll be fun, right?

I Agree @ronpurteetv I think the Mixed Matched Challenge may have been better as a Network Special
