Braun Strowman & Alexa Bliss Talk Teaming With Each Other, WWE NXT Preview, 2018 DVD Schedule
- WWE posted this video of Braun Strowman and RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss backstage with Renee Young after they were announced as the first red brand team for the Mixed Match Challenge tournament. Renee points out how Nia Jax has been campaigning to be Braun's partner in the tournament and asks if they are concerned about how she will react. Braun hushes Bliss and says they don't care what Nia's reaction is because the only friend Bliss needs right now is him. We noted before that Nia tweeted a negative reaction to the announcement and also lashed out at RAW General Manager Kurt Angle, who made the team.
