WrestleMania 36 is set to be one of the most unique spectacles in entertainment history. COVID-19 has stopped mass gatherings across the world, but Vince McMahon has refused to let these rulings put a halt to WWE programming. The boss was never going to allow such to affect his business, especially with WrestleMania on the way.

And we must give plaudits to the WWE as WrestleMania 36 has a stacked card that would match up to any of the previous Show of Shows. In particular, the ladder match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships is set to be a show-stealer.

Here are 5 possible finishes The Miz & John Morrison vs. The New Day & The Usos

#5 The Usos grab the titles

After returning from a short leave of absence, The Usos have spent most of their time supporting their cousin Roman Reigns in his battle against Baron Corbin. It’s only now the Samoan duo have returned to doing what they do best -- competing for the Tag Team Championships. At Elimination Chamber, The Usos came close to winning the titles as they were the last remaining duo alongside the champions. Unfortunately, they would find themselves being pinned by The Miz & Morrison, allowing the champs to survive an impossible scenario.

The Usos are too good a team to make the same mistake twice. They are one of the best tag teams in history, their chemistry is unrivaled, and a ladder match is where they feel at home. In typical super kicking fashion, The Usos could wipe out the other two teams, climb the ladder and become seven-time tag team champions. This would take them closer to breaking the coveted record held by 12-time champions, The Dudley Boyz.

#4 Heavy Machinery interfere

Although Heavy Machinery will be otherwise engaged at WrestleMania in a storyline that also involves Dolph Ziggler, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville, they still have their eyes on the Tag Team Championships. Otis & Tucker view the titles as their ultimate goal in WWE and will stop at nothing until they reach the very top. We saw a few weeks ago the way Otis single-handedly wiped out both The Miz & Morrison on SmackDown as he was engulfed by rage.

With that act, Otis cost his team an opportunity at the titles at WrestleMania, allowing him to focus instead on his feud with Dolph Ziggler. Regardless of whether it’s before or after he deals with Ziggler, Otis could decide to determine the fate of this ladder match. He could pick his moment and come down to the ring to take out Miz & Morrison before they climb to win the titles. An ending like this would plant the seeds for a future feud between the two teams, regardless of the gold.

#3 New Day secure the titles

When it comes to the modern era of wrestling, no tag team has been more successful than The New Day. The trio have raised the bar for tag teams, both in terms of wrestling and how to get over with the audience. They’ve become one of the most popular acts across both brands, often garnering the loudest crowd reactions and selling a lot of merchandise. Last time at Elimination Chamber, The New Day underperformed and didn’t reach the final two.

A few weeks before that at Super ShowDown, Miz and Morrison found a way to beat The New Day for the titles. The seven-time Tag Team champions will not be undone again, especially by a team that has just reunited a few months. With the strength & power of Big E combined with the agility & athleticism of Kofi Kingston, The New Day have more than enough ability to win at WrestleMania, again. Crowd or no crowd, The New Day will entertain us all at the Show of Shows.

#2 Miz & Morrison successfully defend their titles yet again

What started as a novelty and comedy act has turned into a championship-worthy run. The Miz and John Morrison have been SmackDown Tag Team Champions for well over a month now, with two title defences under their belt too. Retaining their titles at WrestleMania would solidify their status as a legitimate tag team in their second run in WWE. This could be the start of a legacy that will go down in the record books as a successful title defence at WrestleMania, allowing them to join an elite list.

The Miz and John Morrison will use every means possible to sneak their way to a win at WrestleMania, but in a ladder match, everything goes. Perhaps Miz & Morrison must instead bring out aggression they’ve never exerted before. Aggression that will see them lay waste to two of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling today. Aggression that will see them leave WrestleMania as the tag team champions.

#1 John Morrison turns on The Miz

Earlier this year, John Morrison made his epic return to WWE programming. On the first SmackDown of 2020, the 40-year-old instantly aligned himself with The Miz. A few weeks later, the duo was engaged in a feud with The New Day and since that day, they’ve been on an upward trend. However, given the Superstar that he is, Morrison will eventually outgrow this partnership with The Miz, paving the way for a blockbuster feud between the two.

Planting the seeds or initiating that rivalry at WrestleMania would be the smartest decision. John Morrison didn’t come back to WWE for tag team gold -- he came to be a winner by himself and doesn’t need someone else riding his coat-tails. Picture the scene, after a tremendous performance by the pair, The Miz climbs the ladder to retrieve the gold, but before he can, Morrison drags him down and then performs a split-legged corkscrew moonsault. This would leave The Miz embarrassed and distraught having lost the titles and leave Morrison to pursue the singles title on the Blue brand.
