In case you didn't know...

WWE Mixed Match challenge which airs exclusively on Facebook live, was a huge success last year. Thus, WWE announced a second season of the tournament and after announcing all the 10 teams, WWE has now revealed the first two matches that will take place.

The heart of the matter

WWE, via Twitter, not only revealed the first two matches but also what to expect in the second season.

Well, unlike the first season which was a knockout tournament, season 2 will be a round-robin which ensures each team will face every other team, at least once.
