WWE has announced that The Mysterios are getting a SmackDown Tag Team Title shot at WrestleMania Backlash when they challenged Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode for the straps at this show.
WWE confirmed the news on Friday afternoon. The Mysterios are looking to become the first father and son team to hold Tag Team Titles in WWE, which would mark history.
Ziggler and Roode became the champs when they beat The Street Profits this past January. At WrestleMania 37 last month, they were able to retain their titles against The Street Profits, The Mysterios, and Chad Gable & Otis in a fatal four-way match.
Just three weeks ago, they retained the straps against The Street Profits on SmackDown. Two weeks ago, the Mysterios defeated Otis & Gable. Last week’s show saw The Street Profits & Bianca Belair defeat Ziggler, Roode & Bayley in a six-person tag match.
This is the fourth match that’s been announced for the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view event on Sunday, May 16, 2021 from Tampa, Florida at Yuengling Center that will air on Peacock thus far.
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman and WWE Raw Women’s Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair are the top matches on the card.
