10 Things We Learned From The WrestleMania Go-Home Raw (March 27)

8. Last Minute Ladder?

Making up for several weeks of utter stupidity, Anderson and Gallows finally looked like dangerous men again when they decked Cesaro and Sheamus backstage with a ladder.

The odd couple took immediate revenge though, bum-rushing the Tag Team Champions on their way to the ring for a match with fellow WrestleMania opponents Enzo and Cass.

The attack triggered another six-man brawl, and the sudden inclusion of the ladder seemed a traditional WWE macguffin to add spice to the flagging conflicts between the trio of tepid tandems.

The segment was probably the strongest moment for any of the three units so far, with Sheamus taking a nasty gash to the head and the other challengers also left laying by the ladder-wielding Champions.

Adjusting the stipulation to include the ladder will add lots of unnecessary risk to the contest with all six presumably wanting to take major chances to craft a 'WrestleMania moment' but may at least ensure their place on the main show rather than holding down the fort inside a half-empty arena during the pre-show.
