Fans have been looking forward to seeing Team Little Big return to action ever since the second season of Mixed Match Challenge was announced, but it was revealed today that Alexa Bliss has been pulled from the tournament due to an arm injury.
Ember Moon is set to replace Bliss for now.
PWInsider is reporting that current plans call for Alexa Bliss to compete in the Mixed Match Challenge tournament next week if she is cleared to wrestle.
Not only has Bliss been pulled from Mixed Match Challenge, she’s also been pulled from the upcoming live events this weekend.
WWE posted the following announcement regarding Alexa’s injury:
“As first revealed in an Exclusive Video with Cathy Kelley, Alexa Bliss suffered an arm injury at the hands of Ronda Rousey during their Raw Women’s Championship Match at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. With Little Miss Bliss sidelined, Ember Moon will now join forces with Braun Strowman to take on the hard-hitting team of Kevin Owens & Natalya.
After her match against The Baddest Woman on the Planet, Bliss began to complain of soreness on Monday before waking up with numbness in her left arm Tuesday morning. After seeking medical attention, Alexa received word that she is not cleared for WWE Mixed Match Challenge or live events this weekend. Accordingly, Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin decided to replace the five-time Women’s Champion with Ember Moon as Strowman’s tag team partner for tonight.”
