The Street Profits aren’t planning on going their separate ways anytime soon.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, collectively known as The Street Profits, have been a mainstay across NXT and WWE’s tag team divisions since 2016, with many fans having long wondered if the pair will ever eventually split.
The pair have publicly fought against this idea in the past, and in a recent edition of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, Ford once again let it be known that the duo are here to stay, adding that a potential split has never crossed either of their minds.
“Me and Dawks have had success for a very long time. Just like with any team or with any organization, the Jackson Five, *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, whatever it is, they’ve always wanted to see the solo acts do their thing. Rightfully so. Once you start taking the attention off going solo and doing all the other things, then your success as a tag team just starts going down. One thing that me and Dawks are very happy about and one thing that I’m specifically happy about is that no matter how high or low we’ve gotten, one of the decisions of us turning on each other has never crossed our minds.”

Ford went on to take aim at The Usos as he looked to highlight the reasoning behind The Street Profits’ persistent alliance.
“Not to throw shade on nobody, but I’m going to go ahead and do it. You got The Usos, you’ve got all these tag teams that turned against their brother. In like 10 years, we’ve never decided to do that because we know that nobody wins when the family feuds.”

Whilst the pair have made it abundantly clear that neither man plans on turning on the other, this is of course the possibility that the two could find themselves as opponents in a number of scenarios, one of which being a future Royal Rumble match.
Addressing that possibility, Ford claimed that he and Dawkins would keep things respectful but tackle the challenge at hand before reaffirming his stance that the duo aren’t giving in to the outside noise.
“If that opportunity arises or approaches and me and Dawks are in the Royal Rumble at the same time and we’re glancing across from each other, it’s a respectful thing like, ‘Hey brother, I love you, but this where we at right now.’ Since we’re a tag team, since we’re a unit, we ain’t paying attention to that noise too much. We see it and we respect it, but you can’t take attention off the task at hand. It’s like if a player is going to another team next year and he just starts playing like ass because he know he’s leaving.”

This past Friday’s edition of SmackDown saw The Street Profits defeat DIY in tag team action, with the pair seemingly having their sights set on recapturing the WWE Tag Team Championship from The Wyatt Sicks.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on future plans for The Street Profits as soon as we hear more.
