Winners: The New Day

This felt rushed, but extenuating circumstances required it. As stale as the New Day are as characters, there's no doubt that the SmackDown tag team division is in a much better place with them as champions than with the Bludgeon Brothers holding the titles. The months since WrestleMania proved that the act just wasn't working and felt like it was stagnating SmackDown.

New feuds with the Good Brothers and The Bar have already been teased, and obviously, no one would mind seeing the New Day and Usos go at it again, as long as it's done artfully and doesn't overstay its welcome.

The tag team division itself emerged as the biggest winner of all last night.
