The WWE Universe has been hit with unexpected news as the high-flying tag team, The Street Profits, are reported to be out of action due to injuries. This announcement, delivered by WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, has sent ripples through the tag team division and forced a significant reshuffle in upcoming match lineups.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, the dynamic duo known as The Street Profits, reportedly sustained these injuries during recent WWE live holiday events. While the specific nature of their injuries hasn’t been disclosed, Aldis stated that they are re-aggravations of previous issues, necessitating them to be sidelined “for the foreseeable future.” This vague timeframe leaves fans wondering about the extent of their absence and when they can expect to see The Street Profits back in the ring.
The immediate impact of The Street Profits’ injury is a significant alteration to the WWE SmackDown card. Originally slated to compete in a WWE Tag Team Championship match, their absence has paved the way for a change in opponents for the current champions, DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa). Instead of facing The Street Profits, DIY will now defend their titles against the formidable Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin). This unexpected switch-up has undoubtedly left fans disappointed who were eager to see The Street Profits compete for championship gold.
The Street Profits have been a mainstay in WWE since their NXT debut in 2016. Their high-energy performances and charismatic personalities quickly made them fan favorites. Their journey in WWE includes capturing the NXT Tag Team Championship in 2019, defeating The Undisputed Era, a pivotal moment that signaled their potential for main roster success. Transitioning to Monday Night Raw later that year, they continued their upward trajectory, seizing the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship in 2020. Their dominance in the tag team division was further cemented in 2021 when they added the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship to their accolades.
Remarkably, The Street Profits achieved the prestigious WWE Tag Team Triple Crown Championship, joining an elite group of teams. They are recognized as the second team to accomplish this feat, holding the NXT, Raw, and SmackDown Tag Team titles, following in the footsteps of legendary teams like The Revival and The New Day. Adding to their impressive record, they became the fastest team to achieve this Triple Crown honor, accomplishing it in a mere 499 days, highlighting their rapid ascent to the top of WWE’s tag team ranks.
Unsurprisingly, news of The Street Profits’ injuries has sparked a wave of reactions across social media. Many fans are expressing their disappointment and sending messages of support to Ford and Dawkins during their recovery. Some fans have voiced their frustration at the unfortunate timing of the injuries, especially given The Street Profits’ popularity and their position within the tag team division. The WWE Universe eagerly awaits updates on their condition and hopes for a speedy return of The Street Profits to action, ready to bring the smoke once again to the WWE ring.
