Montez Ford Admits The Street Profits Were Stagnant After 8/9 WWE SmackDown

The Street Profits, the team of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, worked hard to become one of the mainstays of WWE’s tag team division. With that said, Montez Ford admitted that the tag team had become stagnant.

On the August 9th episode of WWE SmackDown, The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) defeated A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) to advance to the August 16th episode. They will face #DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Grayson Waller) in a Number One Contender’s match for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

In a SmackDown Exclusive, The Street Profits, along with B-Fab, reflected on their victory. B-Fab expressed that the win was crucial for gaining momentum and getting back on the path to reclaiming the tag team titles. She emphasized that it’s been a long time since they held the titles and that the period of waiting was coming to an end.

“What you saw was exactly what we needed, and that was a win to get the momentum so that we can get back on the road to gold, to get the titles back to the Street Profits, like they deserve. It’s been a long, long time since they’ve held that gold. But that time is coming to an end. Time to get back to the gold.”

Montez Ford mentioned that despite experiencing some highs and lows, they had become a bit stagnant, leading to people forgetting their impact. He assured that over the coming weeks, they would remind everyone who they are and their significance in the tag team division.

”We manifested it, we went out there and did what we always do. Find a way. This period, Dawks, peaks and valleys, the highs and lows, seems like we lost ourselves a little bit. Got a little stagnant, stagnant to the point that people forgot who the Street Profits was. So step by step, the next couple of weeks, we’ll kindly remind you all exactly who we are. We’re no strangers to this field. You are.”

Angelo Dawkins pointed out that many believed The Street Profits were finished, but they proved otherwise. He pointed out their ongoing journey towards championship gold, stressing that overcoming challenges and reaching the top was their only option.

“We ain’t no strangers to disrespect, either. Everybody think The Street Profits are down and out. You see what happened out there. A-Town Down Under, they thought we was down and out. Now they out the tournament. Now we going [to the] next round. Because we got a journey for championship gold. Like you said, man, so many peaks and valleys. Now, we just gotta break through and get to the mountaintop. That’s the only option. The Street Profits are up, and we want the smoke.”

With that said, Montez Ford did make it clear he hasn’t given up on a singles run in WWE. Regardless, we will have to wait and see if The Street Profits will become the new WWE Tag Team Champions should they defeat The Bloodline.
