SmackDown Tag Team Titles To Be Defended On 4/16 WWE SmackDown, And More


The Street Profits have another chance to regain the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.

WWE has announced that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins will face Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode on the April 16 episode of SmackDown for their Championship belts.

The Dirty Dawgs defended their Titles on the WrestleMania edition of SmackDown, a Fatal Four-Way match that The Street Profits were a part of, along with The Mysterios and Alpha Academy.

From WWE:

Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler cunningly staved off three other teams last week to preserve the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. Will The Dirty Dawgs be as lucky when they defend against former champions The Street Profits this Friday night?

Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins appeared to be on the cusp of recapturing the titles in a chaotic Fatal 4-Way Match last week that also involved Chad Gable & Otis and Rey Mysterio & Dominik. Ford hit a sky-high frog splash on Gable, only to be blindly tagged by Roode before eating a huge superkick from Ziggler, and Roode opportunistically pinned Gable.

The Street Profits have relentlessly looked to reclaim the gold they lost three months ago. Is Friday the night they break through? Or will Roode & Ziggler again find a way to victory?

In addition to the Tag Team Title bout, Rey and Dominik Mysterio will face The Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis). The two teams have been at odds since February 19th, when Otis and Gable showed off their more ruthless side, attacking the Father and Son after being disqualified from their match. This will be their 6th encounter since that initial incident two months ago.

From WWE:

Both the Mysterios and The Alpha Academy have their sights set on The Dirty Dawgs, but both teams have to climb over each in pursuit of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Rey Mysterio and Otis will both look to provide their team’s an upper hand when they battle on SmackDown. Rey & his son Dominik have golden dreams about father-son tag team glory, but Otis & Chad Gable have plans of their own.

Who will emerge victorious when the high-flying Master of the 619 takes on the bruising Otis?
