WWE announced that Alexa Bliss has been pulled from her scheduled Mixed Match Challenge match tonight. She was scheduled to team with Braun Strowman in a match against Kevin Owens and Natalya. Ember Moon has been named as Bliss’s replacement for the night.
Powell’s POV: WWE is playing up the idea that Bliss suffered an arm injury caused by Ronda Rousey’s armbar finisher on Sunday. Here’s hoping that if Bliss is nursing an injury it’s nothing serious.

I hope this is just a storyline injury, and not legit. Stinks either way. I don’t see where Rousey’s armbar needs to be put over anymore than it already is, and especially to the point where they’re ruining a MMC match to do it.
Rousey didn’t put her in a full arm bar so it’s a work.
