WWE SmackDown before Elimination Chamber Preview: Roman Reigns hijacks main event, big return on the show? (Feb 19th, 2021)

#5 What’s next for the tag team division on WWE SmackDown?

Will a new team step up to challenge Dolph Ziggler and RobRoode? — Will a new team step up to challenge Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode?

Last week on WWE SmackDown, we saw Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler make an appearance on the Blue brand. The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions locked horns with Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. They also made an appearance on WWE NXT on Wednesday, and we could see them back in action tonight.

That said, we don't expect them to face Banks and Belair. Instead, it would be better to have them go against the likes of The Riott Squad or even a team of Bayley and Billie Kay on WWE SmackDown. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championships have to be defended across all three brands, and the titles desperately need new teams to step up and pose a serious threat.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

Moving on to the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode are enjoying their current run with the titles. That said, they have hardly had any significant title defenses, and they should be booked into a couple of good title feuds before they eventually drop their titles. No tag team in the division other than The Street Profits seems like strong challengers at the moments, and the creative team might look to change that starting tonight.
