Folks, WrestleMania 40 turned into a legislative session of its own, with the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships getting a bipartisan split faster than a vote on a hot-button issue. The Six-Pack Challenge Ladder Match was like a budget negotiation meeting – with more ladders, less talking, and just about the same amount of chaos.
From the get-go, the titles were hung up like the fate of a crucial bill, separated into the “Raw” and “SmackDown” Tag Team Championships. Competitors from DIY, The Judgement Day, New Catch Republic, The New Day, Awesome Truth, and A-Town Down Under threw themselves into the fray, each team eyeing the prize like it was the last slice of pizza at a bipartisan luncheon.
Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, the dynamic duo from A-Town Down Under, showcased their legislative agility early on by scaling the political – I mean, ladder – landscape to snatch the “SmackDown” Tag Team Championships. Their victory lap was cut short faster than a filibuster when Waller took a table break, courtesy of the opposition.
As the battle waged on for the “Raw” Tag Team Championships, every team threw their hat in the ring, or rather, their bodies into the chaos. Austin Theory made a bold move to consolidate power, aiming to reunify the titles under A-Town Down Under’s banner, but got a Birminghammer instead of a caucus vote.
Then, in a twist fit for a political thriller, R-Truth found himself solo in the ring with nothing but a ladder and ambition. Climbing that ladder was like watching a bill make its way through Congress, filled with suspense and anticipation. And when he secured the “Raw” Tag Team Championships, Philadelphia erupted in approval, marking a historic win for both R-Truth and Awesome Truth.
With the dust settling and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships officially retired in favor of their respective “Raw” and “SmackDown” identities, it’s clear WrestleMania 40 was not just a showdown but a landmark legislative session in WWE history.
