The Street Profits were drafted to WWE SmackDown during Night Two of the Draft, despite being RAW Tag Team Champions. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods (The New Day) were drafted to RAW despite becoming SmackDown Tag Team Champions last week.

So Adam Pearce came up with a plan, and for the first time in WWE history, the RAW and SmackDown tag team titles were exchanged between the titleholders.

Interestingly, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler had laid their claim as the No. 1 contenders for The Street Profits' RAW Tag Team Championships. Now that those titles were in The New Day's possession, Roode and Ziggler had to face Kingston and Woods instead this week.

What derailed the momentum of this match to some extent was that WWE fans knew Roode and Ziggler weren't winning simply because they were drafted to the Blue brand, earlier in the same episode.

Moreover, given the fact that WWE's tag team divison has been through a rocky couple of months in terms of new contenders, fans would have preferred if The Street Profits and The New Day were on the same brand. That would have given them no choice but to fight each other to determine the undisputed non-brand specific tag team champions.
