Former NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits have said farewell to the black-and-gold brand. The team, comprised of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, shared an emotional goodbye to NXT during a show in Vancouver.
WWE NXT’s Twitter account uploaded a video capturing Dawkins’ message to the fans, accompanied by the caption:
“The #StreetProfits’ @AngeloDawkins had an emotional goodbye to the #NXTUniverse in #NXTVancouver with @MontezFordWWE by his side. #WeAreNXT”
In the video, Ford reminded his tag team partner of his seven-year journey to the main roster. The crowd then start a “You deserve it” chant causing Dawkins to break into tears.
“I ain’t really good at goodbyes either,” Dawkins confessed. “But…as we all know saying from the bottom of our hearts: everybody in here is NXT!
The team were recently drafted to Monday Night RAW after weeks of cameo appearances and backstage segments.
The decision to feature them was apparently the idea of RAW Executive Director, Paul Heyman. He is reportedly a fan of The Street Profits work and sees mainstream potential in them for the main roster.
During last week’s episode of RAW, the Street Profits were beaten down by The O.C. in a backstage segment, suggesting a big feud for them out the gate.
