WWE Friday Night SmackDown begins with MizTV. Ladders are everywhere. The Usos come out first, asking what kind of show they think this is. This ain’t the Oprah Show or the Maurey Show. They’re about to climb the ladder and become WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The New Day come out next, singing “Ohhhh noooo”. They slide into the ring. Kofi asks if he just heard them say that they’re about to snatch down the SmackDown Live WWE World Tag Team Championships? Oh noo… Big E says he knows they’re usually used to 70-100,000 fans at WrestleMania, and these circumstances are very different but it’s still WrestleMania. And at WrestleMania they’ll take those titles. Usos said if not for Dumb and Dumber coming out last week, they’d be the only challengers. Kofi says the way he remembers it, the New Day had them handled before Lloyd and Harry came out. The Miz and John Morrison arrive to interrupt.
Miz says they’re turtleneck tough guys and they deserve better.
They already beat the whole division in the Elimination Chamber so why not defend in a ladder against these two undeserving teams? Says they’ll just take a front-row preview of what’s going to happen at WrestleMania. Says they like to pretend they’re all buddy-buddy but when the competition gets rolling they destroy each other. Miz and Morrison climb up the ladders and call themselves the best tag team in the world and everyone else can be jealous.
The New Day and the Usos spill out of the ring and rush down there. Before the champs can get down they’re pulled off the ladders and a brawl kicks up between all three teams. The faces beat on the heels for a bit before quickly turning on each other, superkicks and slams into ladders. Miz and Morrison grab a ladder and smash it into Kofi, laying him out before once more climbing the two ladders on the stage and posing with their titles. It’s kind of a neat visual actually, they’re basically up there in the rafters thanks to how tiny this building is.
We then learn that later tonight, for reasons, we will be seeing Ric Flair’s retirement match against Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 24. They’ve officially given up trying to have any sort of tie-in with these replays. Seems like there was more they could’ve done there.
