The Miz and Shane McMahon had an interesting journey to the top of the tag division on SmackDown Live. It didn't last long, though, losing their titles a month after winning them when they were defeated by The Usos at WWE Elimination Chamber. Tonight, they had a chance at redemption.
However, The Usos didn't plan on losing the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship so soon, as they expect to walk into WrestleMania still on top of the division.
