Roman Reigns had an evil surprise planned for WWE SmackDown.

#3 Impressed on WWE SmackDown: Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode

The newly crowned champions will look for a dominant reign

This week on WWE SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode challenged the Street Profits for the brand's Tag Team championships. All the Superstars involved in this bout gave their best to deliver a highly entertaining match that ended with Ziggler and Roode finally getting their hands on the titles.

Since we have already seen both these teams lock horns before, the fans did not expect anything out of the world from their in-ring encounter tonight on WWE SmackDown. However, both Ziggler and Roode deserve credit for putting up an impressive performance that made them look better than they have in the past.

This match for the titles did more than enough to get the fans excited about the blue brand's tag team division – something that SmackDown desperately needed. The Street Profits also looked strong, and they were attacked after the match. Thus, we believe that this feud will continue until the creative can identify the next best challengers for Ziggler and Roode.

As for the newly crowned champions, they have put a lot of effort over the last few weeks and deserve a good title reign.
