7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (March 26)

5. The Right Call

Rey Mysterio Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler is a great example of that previous point - it's fine if he loses matches like the one against Rey Mysterio on SmackDown provided it doesn't happen too often and actually leads to something worthwhile. Rey and Dominik challenging for the Dirty Dawgs' tag straps is certainly that.

WWE have options now.

They can either put the Mysterio clan up against Ziggler and Robert Roode in a straight-up tag, or add in other units like The Street Profits and the burgeoning Chad Gable and Otis combo. A four-way situation seems the most likely so everybody gets that WrestleMania pay day.

Ziggler and Rey worked some nice spots in this match too. The way Dolph timed a Zig-Zag so it'd interrupt Mysterio's springboard was spectacular, and both men sold well for the other. They made the most of what could've been a throwaway main event here.
