8 Things We Learned From The WrestleMania Go-Home Smackdown Live! (March 28)

8. Making Up The Numbers

Like Royal Rumble and Survivor Series before it, Smackdown Live!’s undercard have been left to beef up a multi-man match, with the usual suspects all entering the Andre The Giant Battle Royal as likely fodder for Raw’s Braun Strowman.

Following the tag team title switch between American Alpha and The Usos on last week’s episode of the show, Jimmy and Jey staged a guerrilla campaign on Talking Smack alongside Daniel Bryan and Renee Young to fight their way on to the main card, but Tuesday’s edition of the broadcast confirmed the calls had fallen on deaf ears.

Thrown into completely inconsequential roles in a 10-man tag match with Tyler Breeze, Fandango, Dolph Ziggler, Heath Slater, Rhyno, Mojo Rawley and the former champions Jordan and Gable, the tag team champions got to be on the losing end of the token losers match on the final show before WrestleMania.

For all WWE have done to rehabilitate tag team wrestling in the last year or so, this sent out completely the wrong message to those thinking just being a great tandem was enough to earn you a spot. Be warned, Revival.
