The main event of this week's WWE SmackDown featured a SmackDown Tag Team Championship rematch between The Mysterios (Rey and Dominik Mysterio) and The Dirty Dawgs (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode).

Instead of a straightforward contest, WWE rehashed a WrestleMania Backlash plot with some minor changes. Many still remember how The Dirty Dawgs ambushed Dominik at WrestleMania Backlash, which forced Rey Mysterio to fight them alone for the most part.

In the latest edition of SmackDown, Ziggler and Roode carried out another ambush, but this time, they attacked the legendary luchador instead of his son.

Also, the former champions pretended that they weren't responsible for this development, looking to earn a forfeit victory as a result. However, Dominik chose to fight them alone, and a last-minute distraction from his father allowed The Mysterios to retain their titles.

It may not have been the best idea to book a slightly repetitive sequence of events in the main event, but the aftermath proved to be an excellent tease for the future.

Following The Mysterios' WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship retention, The Usos entered the scene and stood against the father-son duo. Roman Reigns watched this play out from the backstage area, as the episode concluded shortly after.

The Usos vs. The Mysterios is a major showdown indeed, but it remains to be seen if Roman Reigns' influence could have a detrimental effect on his cousins' winning chances next week.
