It was reported a few weeks ago that WWE was considering a new in-ring series that would be broadcast strictly on Facebook live. WWE finally made it official on Wednesday morning.
The show will air on Tuesday nights on Facebook Live at 10:00 P.M (same time as 205 Live). The show will be a mixed tag-team tournament for charity. Here is an excerpt from WWE:
“Facebook and WWE today announced a new in-ring series, Mixed Match Challenge, that will stream live in the U.S. exclusively on Facebook on Tuesday nights beginning Jan.16 at 10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT. The 12-episode series will air on Facebook Watch and feature WWE Superstars from both the Raw and SmackDown LIVE rosters competing in a single-elimination mixed tag-team tournament to win $100,000 to support the charity of their choice.
Each 20-minute episode will reflect a progressive approach to production, with elements optimized for mobile consumption, experimentation and social interaction, including the ability for the WWE Universe to engage with Superstars during the show. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to select matchups, match stipulations and more, on Facebook”
