Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode's WWE feud against The Street Profits proceeded in a pretty standard fashion over the past few weeks. Their storyline didn't have anything new to offer when The Street Profits won against the heel Superstars over and over again.

So it was inevitable that Roode and Ziggler would eventually win the titles from Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to shake up the tag team division on WWE SamackDown.

Montez Ford's leg was an important factor in this match. Both teams fought in a back-and-forth bout until Ziggler and Roode hit a combination of Zig Zag and a spinebuster for the win and the WWE SmackDown tag team titles.

Ziggler and Roode may not be the most interesting champions at the moment. But in a pretty ordinary tag team division scenario, it is always better to have heel champions so that the protagonists can build some steam while chasing the tag team titles.

If The Street Profits won't be able to dethrone Roode and Ziggler in the near future, this could be the perfect opportunity for WWE to build Rey and Dominik Mysterio as formidable challengers.
