WWE SmackDown must deliver a good show after an underwhelming RAW earlier this week

#5 The Street Profits get another shot at WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships

The expectations are high from the upcoming title match

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode successfully defended their tag team titles in a Fatal Four-Way match. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford came to the brink of reclaiming the titles during this entertaining bout before the champions got away with a sneaky victory. The Street Profits now have another opportunity to challenge Ziggler and Roode.

Both teams will lock horns in the WWE SmackDown tag team title match this week. Although Ziggler and Roode have not been involved in many notable feuds during their title reign, they have put on good matches in their bid to defend their gold. The two teams also share a long history that adds to the excitement surrounding their upcoming bout.

It is improbable that Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode will lose their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships this week. Other teams might soon earn a shot at the title, and the creative will look to book an intense feud before the said championships change hands. Hence, this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown could determine the next challengers for the SmackDown tag team titles.
