5. Tag Match Sets Up Rematch, New Feud

We’ve talked about the importance of added context here plenty of times, so let’s give a bit of credit here to WWE for putting two minutes of its three hours to good use for once.

Riddle ran into the Dirty Dawgs backstage, who reminded him that they lost their tag title match last week after winning a gruelling triple threat tag match earlier in the night, and that if they were all rested up, they’d beat them in a rematch.

Then we got the tag match pitting the Dawgs against Street Profits, a match that once against showcased the insane talents of Montez Ford. However, once again, Omos stalked down to ringside, which provided enough of a distraction for Dolph Ziggler to get a Zig-Zag for the win.

And then Omos wiped out both Profits, furthering that growing feud. Meanwhile, Ziggler and Robert Roode now have a case to make about a rematch, given that they won that match and pointed out the double-duty last week.
