You can find the full announcement, with comments from Charlotte, HERE. We have included an excerpt below:
SmackDown LIVE’s first tandem to be announced for WWE Mixed Match Challenge is the formidable pairing of SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode – two Superstars that General Manager Daniel Bryan hopes will prove to be the difference against Raw in the unprecedented tournament on Facebook Watch.
Since emerging in WWE, Charlotte Flair has surpassed every expectation, proving her genetic superiority as the daughter of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair by competing in ground-breaking matches and laying claim to four Raw Women’s Championships, a Divas Championship and now the SmackDown Women’s Title. She‘s the perfect partner for the up-and-coming Roode, a Superstar whose dynamic personality, obvious skill and confident demeanor promise to bring him greatness on the blue brand and beyond.
This glorious dream team is not only sure to add a touch of class to WWE Mixed Match Challenge, but it may also serve as the right combination to walk away with the whole tournament.
You can find video of Bryan informing Charlotte and Roode of their pairing below:
Earlier today RAW General Manager Kurt Angle announced that RAW’s first pairing will be Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss.
