WWE officially confirmed on “the Bump” that the Miz will not participate in WrestleMania 36 this year. The announced reason for him being pulled from the card is that he was injured on last night’s Smackdown. It had previously been reported, however, that Miz did not perform on the show due to being sick. The Miz was scheduled to defend the Smackdown tag team titles in a tag-team triple threat ladder match against The Usos and New Day.

The tag-team titles will still be defended in a triple threat ladder match, however. The match has been changed from a tag-team triple threat to a single’s triple threat. The tag titles will still be on the line, however.

.@TheRealMorrison will put the #SmackDown #TagTeamTitles on the line all by himself when he battles Jimmy @WWEUsos & @TrueKofi in a #TripleThreat #LadderMatch at #WrestleMania, as announced on @WWETheBump!
