Up next is the 6-Pack Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. Both sets of Titles (RAW & SmackDown) have to be unhooked to end the match. The titles are unhanging far apart from each other, and not together.

Austin Theory & Grayson Waller have unhooked the SmackDown Tag Team Championship and they are the new champions of the blue brand! New Catch Republic puts Waller through a ladder!
R-Truth was climbing the ladder, but JD McDonagh interfered and stopped Truth. New Day pushed JD off the top the ladder through the tables on the outside!
Truth throws Damian Priest outside the ring with an Attitude Adjustment! Truth climbs up the ladder and unhooks the RAW Titles!
Austin Theory & Grayson Waller win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

With this win, R-Truth’s losing streak at WrestleMania is over, as this was his first WrestleMania victory!
