8 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Huge twist to be revealed next week, WrestleMania ladder match to be canceled immediately? (27th March, 2020)

#2 The dark horse of the match?

The SmackDown Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 36 was supposed to be a six-pack challenge, but Dana Brooke was forced to pull out and she was put in quarantine - the same boat as Rey Mysterio.

What fans need to understand is that WWE gave the superstars a choice as to whether they want to be a part of WrestleMania 36 or not and that's likely why Carmella isn't participating and also why Corey Graves wasn't on commentary.

Either decision must be respected, but in the opening segment of SmackDown, the biggest dark horse of the Women's match was revealed - Tamina.

That's right, the woman who has never gotten a serious push before looked great - perhaps the best she has in years and stood tall after attacking the other two title challengers - Lacey Evans and Naomi.

Sasha Banks and Bayley got away, but more dissent was teased. However, Tamina could be the dark horse of her match.
