This week's episode of WWE SmackDown looks very interesting on paper

#5 New challengers for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships

WWE SmackDown Tag Team picture can use new storylines

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode successfully defended their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits last week. The two teams delivered a good match but the creative should now look to involve the titles in fresh rivalries. The Alpha Academy and The Mysterios have recently emerged as interesting challengers for the titles.

Over the last few weeks, Otis and Chad Gable have targeted Rey and Dominik Mysterio. In fact, Otis has left no chance to brutalize Rey Mysterio on WWE SmackDown. It is expected that both these teams will be involved in an extended rivalry, and the creative can use a title opportunity as an important catalyst in this storyline.

Both The Alpha Academy and The Mysterios have declared their intention to climb the ladder in the WWE SmackDown Tag Team division. They should get an opportunity to challenge Ziggler and Roode for the titles sooner rather than later. Based on their current run, both teams have a good chance of beating the champions. It would undoubtedly allow the creative to explore their options with new storylines.
