The SmackDown Tag Team Championship ladder match was a bit of a bizarre one since it was competed by three singles competitors. The reason for this was The Miz pulling out of WrestleMania 36, which forced WWE into this situation.

As expected, the match was fast-paced and action-packed and didn't disappoint. For the last three years, the SmackDown Tag Team division has been centered around The Usos and The New Day. While The Usos had a run on RAW last year, it was cut short after the duo and Naomi took an extended hiatus.

They would return to the blue brand and as it turns out - it's the best place for them. The New Day has stayed firm on SmackDown since the 2017 Superstar Shake-Up and while there have been multiple teams that have held the SmackDown tag team titles, The New Day and The Usos have largely dominated the division.

With John Morrison's win to retain the titles for The Miz and himself, it's clear that a third team has been added to the mix.
