After the stipulation was set up last night, WWE officially announced today that Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus at WrestleMania 33 would now be a triple threat ladder match for the Raw Tag Team Championship.

Gallows & Anderson attacked Cesaro & Sheamus with a ladder in a segment on the go-home episode of Raw. A three-way ladder brawl later broke out as the storyline continued, with Sheamus requiring 15 stitches after a mishap left him with a gruesome cut over his eye.

This will be the third straight year with a ladder match on the WrestleMania card. The Intercontinental title was defended in ladder matches the last two years.

Last night's Raw also saw more entrants announced for the 2017 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The current list of participants is:

Sami Zayn
Braun Strowman
Goldust
R-Truth
Curtis Axel
Primo
Epico
Bo Dallas
Jinder Mahal
Apollo Crews
Mojo Rawley
Big Show
Curt Hawkins

Because it's not like we'd want to announce this on the air or anything.

And of course we need a ladder match on the card because it's not WrestleMania unless we book a pointless gimmick match just to put our employees in extra danger.

not just that, from all the matches in the card, they pick the one where 4 of the wrestlers are almost as tall as the ladders, dudes could just make it a stool match. 6 guys who BARELY brought a ladder the match 1 day ago, 6 guys who have nothing to do with ladders. You wanna bet something? this is the match that Broken Hardys return at.

That Hardys return isn't happening this weekend. They're still signed to ROH through, like, May or something.

I was pretty sure everyone on ROHWorld had been saying May (including some of the "insiders"). Also a contract for four shows really wouldn't make much sense. They're definitely having more matches with the Bucks. The original plan was for them to feud until June or something like that.

i could be wrong. I just think everyone is assuming they return either on WM or RAW next week. That's why i thought they rushed the title and change and ladder match. Especially now that it seems The Hardys won the whole trademark deal vs Anthem. idk, i'll research it

They rushed it or the same reason Delirious does everything now: to try to get attention.

Well... I guess I was pretty darn wrong, huh?

WWE is pretty predictable in their 'surprises' department

As soon as we heard that, everyone in my house went "The Hardys are back for sure."

Pretty sure it was their way of telling us without actually telling us haha

Well they sure fooled me. I thought it was them just shoving a Ladder Match on the show because they're always guaranteed crowd pleasers.

I also believe that the Hardys are still doing some leftover indie dates all month, i can see how that blurred the lines

It has nothing to do with "indies" plural. I bought Jeff's lie that they were signed with ROH through the summer. I never figured Jeff would lie about that. I could see Matt doing it, but not Jeff.

Really! The boyfriend, my mom and my sister all went "Hey, that's a little suspect... The Hardys are coming back aren't they?"

My sister then said that she might get back into wrestling again because she loved Matt that much when we were young.
