WWE Mixed Match Challenge Results
Rusev & Lana vs Elias & Bayley
Both teams end up showboating a bit and Rusev sings the ‘Lana Is The Best’ song, then Lana wants to start the match off. A bit of shenanigans, then Lana goes outside and threatens to smash Elias’ guitar before throwing it on the ground. Elias checks on it and both teams go back to their corners, then Elias and Rusev lock up and try to size each other up. Rusev calls for a test of strength, but Elias kicks him in the stomach and whips him off the ropes and drops him with a back elbow.
Rusev makes a comeback with a running splash and some punches in the corner, then Elias kicks him but Rusev comes back with a leaping thrust kick. Rusev attempts The Accolade but Elias blocks it, then Rusev comes right back with a suplex and Elias rolls back and makes the tag. Lana drops Bayley with a facebuster for two, then she chokes Bayley on the middle rope and hits a running knee strike for two. Lana applies a seated chinlock and taunts Bayley, then Bayley lifts her and slams her into the turnbuckles to break the hold. Bayley gets fired up and hits some forearm smashes and a snapmare on the ropes, then Bayley hits a fallaway suplex for two.
Bayley heads up top and goes for a super Bayley-to-Belly suplex, and Elias runs in and knees Rusev in the face after an attempt at a distraction. Lana uses the run-in to drop down to the mat and snap Bayley’s head on the middle turnbuckle, then she rolls up Bayley for the surprise win.
