Sasha Banks Injured; Replaced By Mickie James In Mixed Match Challenge

Another wrestler has fallen victim to the Mixed Match Challenge injury bug.

WWE confirmed that Sasha Banks is out of Mixed Matched Challenge due to an injury. No details were given about the injury. Mickie James will replace her on a team with Bobby Lashley.

Banks last wrestling on Sept. 9 at a Live Event in Mississippi. 

Fans can vote on a team name for the two on Facebook. Lashley and James will face Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox on episode two of Mixed Match Challenge, which airs Tuesday on Facebook Live. 

This marks the second injury to a Mixed Match Challenge competitor in less than a week. On Tuesday, hours before the season 2 premiere, WWE announced that Alexa Bliss would be out of the competition due to numbness in her arm. She was replaced by Ember Moon as Braun Strowman’s new teammate.
