With Facebook Watch such a new platform, many are wondering just how they can watch this program &#8211; is it just as easy as logging into your already existing Facebook account and hitting play? Well, sort of. Thankfully, the WWE released a video explaining just how easy it is.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to watch WWE Mixed Match Challenge\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fF02F2zVv5Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/2018\/01\/07\/preview-wwe-mixed-match-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">As <strong>Rick James<\/strong> previewed yesterday<\/a> on <strong>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/strong>, the teams for the WWE Mixed Match Challenge are starting to get announced (with two more announced today) as we head into the final lead up week before the tournament begins, but as noted, there is one absent participant, in WWE Cruiserweight Champion <strong>Enzo Amore<\/strong>. Many expected Enzo to be paired with his current on-screen love interest, <strong>Nia Jax<\/strong>, but it was announced this weekend she&#8217;d be paired with the man who actually replaced Enzo in the tournament, Titus Worldwide&#8217;s <strong>Apollo Crews<\/strong> instead. While some speculate that Enzo may have been pulled as some sort of &#8220;punishment&#8221;, the real reason appears to be something far more precautionary than disciplinary. Due to the severity of Enzo&#8217;s current flu (which kept him from last Monday&#8217;s edition of <em><strong>Raw<\/strong><\/em>), Enzo was removed for fear of contaminating other Superstars. And while the tournament doesn&#8217;t begin for another week, all participants were corralled this past weekend to record their opening promos and WWE felt it best to keep Enzo home a little longer in case he was to possibly infect other members of the locker room.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11874\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption
