WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns spoils title match, current champion’s ‘mystery attacker’, top Superstar to win title after 5 years? (June 4th, 2021)

#2 Rey Mysterio’s ‘mystery attackers’ make their presence known on WWE SmackDown

Fans have high expectations from this match on WWE SmackDown

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Rey and Dominik Mysterio were scheduled to defend their tag team titles against The Dirty Dawgs in a WrestleMania Backlash rematch. Unfortunately, Rey Mysterio was brutally attacked backstage right before the match, and he was ruled out of his title defense. A frustrated Dominik Mysterio then single-handedly fought against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.

Dominik delivered a rather impressive performance inside the ring. He struggled after being outnumbered, and his resilience to keep fighting was brilliantly put on display. In the end, a slight distraction from an injured Rey allowed Dominik to pin a distracted Ziggler to retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

The episode didn’t reveal any details about Rey’s attackers and labeled them as mystery personnel. We could find more information about WWE SmackDown this week.

It is possible that The Alpha Academy attacked Rey Mysterio. Before winning the tag team titles, Rey and Dominik Mysterio engaged in a solid rivalry with Otis and Chad Gable. We could now see them engage in a promising title feud. But first, they have to face The Usos.
