As previously reported, this week’s New Year’s Day Edition of WWE SmackDown LIVE will feature a big Mixed Tag Team Match with 16-time World Champion John Cena & Becky Lynch taking on Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega. The match, taped at Saturday’s SmackDown LIVE Tapings in Pittsburgh, was made after Becky interrupted an in-ring promo from Cena.
\nOne line from Becky already has the internet talking. After telling Cena that she will take his face off The WWE posters like she did with Charlotte Flair, The Man referenced Cena’s break-up with Nikki Bella.
\nLynch said, “And if you have a problem with that, Nikki Bella won’t be the only woman that’s dropped you this year.”<\/p>\n
Cena’s promo also included a line about how he was looking for a SmackDown LIVE Superstar to give him a reason to be on The Blue Brand’s Show that night. Lynch later asked, “How does it feel to know you were looking for a man to step-up instead of The Man?”
\nThe tension between Cena & Lynch continued during the match as she slapped him on the chest at one point to tag him in. The finish saw Cena on his way to getting the pin on Almas but Lynch interfered, tossed Cena out of the ring, and then made Vega tap out. Cena tried to shake hands with Lynch after the match but Lynch responded with the “you can’t see me” taunt in his face.
\nBelow are a few fan photos and videos from the segment & match, which will air on tonight’s SmackDown LIVE broadcast:<\/p>\n

After Cena hits a flurry and finished with his AA and his new punch on Almas, Becky throws Cena out of the ring, beats Zelina and does a “you can’t see me” when Cena wants a make up handshake.
