WWE Smackdown: Two big title matches have been announced for next week’s WWE Smackdown. Let us check it out.
WWE Smackdown: Rey & Dominik Mysterio to defend the Smackdown Tag Team Titles against The Usos
This week on WWE Smackdown, The Mysterio’s defended their Tag team titles for the first time since becoming the champions at Wrestlemania Backlash. It was a rematch from Wrestlemania Backlash as they were up against the former champs Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

The Dirty Dawgs played dirty before the match as they laid an attack on Rey Mysterio, who wasn’t able to make it to the ring. Dominik was all alone and had to mark his territory right from the outset. It was always going to be tough for Dominik, who had no one on his corner to tag in. The match started with both Roode & Ziggler all over Dominik. They didn’t give Dominik a chance to strengthen, but the gutsy Mysterio was not backing down.

Just when it looked like Dominik was gaining momentum, Rey’s music hit, and he came walking down the aisle. His appearance stunned Roode & Ziggler, and it was enough for Dominik to roll up Roode for a pinfall victory. With this victory, The Mysterio’s will now defend their titles against The Usos next week on WWE Smackdown.
WWE Smackdown: Kevin Owens to challenge Apollo Crews for the Intercontinental Championship with Commander Azeez banned from the ringside!
Another huge title match announced for the next week is for the Intercontinental Championship. Kevin Owens will be challenging Apollo Crews for the Intercontinental Title with Commander Azeez banned from the ringside.
The two collided this week as well, with the championship on the line. Kevin Owens was quick to take down Crews and was almost closing in for a victory after hitting him with a stunner. He went for the pin straight away, but before the referee could count three, Commander Azeez hit Owens with a Nigerian Nail, and the match got disqualified. Crews escaped with the title, while Owens was reeling with pain of the Nigerian Nail attack. Later in a backstage segment, Owens was attended by WWE’s medical staff in Adam Pearce’s presence.
