#3 Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode win the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode attacked The Street Profits. The Dirty Dawgs got a title match this week’s show, and they capitalized. Roode and Ziggler have been doing well as a tag team in WWE, and the veterans entered this match determined to win the gold.

Ziggler survived an early attack from Ford, and he targeted the champion's injured leg. The Dirty Dawgs worked hard to slow down the fastest man in the ring.

Dawkins tried to take matters into his own hands, but the heels were unstoppable. Ford ultimately fell to a Spinebuster-ZigZag combination that allowed Ziggler and Roode to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

The Street Profits had been holding the SmackDown tag titles for a few months. Some fans were upset by the decision to dethrone the popular team. But with the titles around their waists, Roode and Ziggler could shake up this stale division.

SmackDown's tag team division doesn't have a lot of depth right now. The decision to crown heel champions could help the brand build some babyface teams.
