Rey and Dominik Mysterio are predicted to become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania Backlash. In recent memory, WWE has heavily advertised the possibility of Rey and Dominik becoming the first-ever father-son tag team champions. Clearly, this outcome has more newsworthy appeal compared to The Dirty Dawgs' (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode) reign as the current titleholders.

However, WWE's booking pattern for The Dirty Dawgs vs. Rey and Dominik Mysterio has been quite strange, to say the least. Over the last two weeks, the babyfaces have emerged victoriously over Ziggler in separate singles matches. It's almost as if there isn't a huge conflict for Rey and Dominik to overcome at WrestleMania Backlash.

With the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions' chances of winning at the upcoming pay-per-view already looking weak, WWE could swerve viewers by booking The Dirty Dawgs to retain their titles.

This surprise would make sense, especially if WWE plans to save Rey and Dominik Mysterio's big moment for the future when live crowds return to arenas.
