While The Challenge: Ride or Dies saw duos with seemingly unbreakable bonds compete together, The Challenge: World Championship will also see contestants competing in twos.

The show will see "legends" from past seasons of different versions of The Challenge join forces with global "MVPs" from various editions of The Challenge from across the world.
According to Paramount, each global MVP will be paired with a Challenge Legend to form "the most epic teams in the history of the franchise."
The Legends will help the MVPs win power and avoid elimination in order to make it to the most difficult challenge of them all, the brutal finale, where they will fight for the grand prize of $500,000.
In the end, only the most dominant will conquer the game and prove they are not just the best in their home country, but also the world.
...
The 12-part series will be hosted by longtime The Challenge presenter T.J. Lavin, with global hosts Brihony Dawson from The Challenge: Australia, Mark Wright from The Challenge: U.K., and Marley Biyendolo from The Challenge: Argentina, joining him to kick off the premiere episode.
The Challenge normally sees fan favorites from reality television shows compete in grueling mental and physical competitions, so there will definitely be some familiar faces returning for this new edition.
