It looks like The Street Profits will be splitting up, and rumors now are that WWE Wants To Push Montez Ford As A Singles Star.
During the Money In The Bank pay-per-view before the Tag Team Championship match, Michael Cole alluded to issues between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins. This was also brought up on SmackDown and the announcers (Vince McMahon in their ear) have been bringing up Ford’s physique in recent weeks.
The Street Profits lost the match after taking the 3D from Jimmy and Jey but it was revealed after the match that Ford’s shoulder was up and the referee missed it.
On the Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez said, “Very interesting by the way that they made a very very big deal for like minutes on end about Montez Ford’s new physique and how big he was, how strong he was…”
Alvarez added, “Also on SmackDown, they had a very interesting deal where they had a face-to-face with The Usos and Ford and Dawkins and The Usos say, ‘there have been rumors that you guys haven’t been getting along.'”
Dave Meltzer said, “I know that there’s people who want to push Ford as a single. It’s possible. I tell you what, it’s gonna be really tough for Dawkins if they break up the team. I can see him really falling off. I can see them really trying to do something with Ford as a single. He’s got a lot of charisma, a super athlete. There’s people who are very high on him right now, especially with his new physique.”
It appears that they will have a rematch, perhaps at SmackDown or SummerSlam, and that could be when Ford turns on Dawkins or vice versa. We’ll see if that happens but the tease from Cole certainly seems to indicate that the split is coming.
