Super Bowl LVI was a star-studded affair. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige put on a halftime show to remember. The Los Angeles crowd was filled with major celebrities like Kanye West, Antonio Brown, and more.

WWE had their share of representation at the big game. Alexa Bliss, appearing under her real name, Lexi Kaufman, took part in the pregame festivities. Pat McAfee hosted the FanDuel $200K Superstar Showdown, which saw Bliss take on Super Bowl legend and former Dallas Cowboys great Emmitt Smith in a heated air hockey battle.

It was a best of three series to determine arcade hockey supremacy. Bliss won in a clean sweep. Alexa defeated the Hall of Famer 7-5 and 7-4 to take home a satisfying win. Lexi shared her keys to success after the games.

“The keys to success? Just don’t look Emmitt in the eyes, because every time I looked him in the eyes I got intimidated. That’s when he got a goal on me.”
