WWE power couple Bianca Belair and Montez Ford support each other in everything—but Belair draws the line at one of Ford’s bizarre diet habits. In a CBS Sports interview, Belair revealed her husband drinks raw egg whites every morning.
“That’s such a toxic trait to me,” she joked. “But you know what? I actually tried it, and it’s not that bad.”
Despite giving it a chance, Belair isn’t making it a habit.
“No, but you know what? I would rather drink the egg whites than eat boiled eggs at this point,” she admitted.
Years of training and meal prep left her burned out on traditional protein sources.
“I was eating so many boiled eggs that I don’t think I could eat another one in my life.”
The couple’s busy WWE schedule means they often rely on quick nutrition on the road—even gas station hard-boiled eggs in desperate situations. But Ford’s dedication to his raw egg whites remains unmatched.
“Maybe if I leave some in my purse for three days, Montez will still drink them,” Belair joked.
The Indiana Pacers Vs. Detroit Pistons game had plenty of pro-wrestling spirit this week as part of a special WWE Night. Ahead of the January 29, game, Tyrese Haliburton, who’s no stranger to WWE, gifted custom jerseys to Bianca Belair and Montez Ford.

Belair and Ford weren’t the only WWE names featured at this week’s game. To hype-up the Pacers’ walk-out, a video was played slicing footage of the players alongside The Rock and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. The video also used Limp Bizkit’s My Way, the iconic track behind the WrestleMania X-Seven promo package for the WWE Title match between the two legends.
The Indiana Pacers’ players were introduced with a WWE style crossover during tonight’s game.
From the iconic Stone Cold v The Rock WrestleMania 17 “My Way” video package to Austin’s theme song being played.
With the WWE behind them, the Pacers charged to victory, besting the Detroit Pistons 113-119.
The company’s presence at the show, which was billed as ‘WWE Night’ months in advance, only goes to demonstrate the power that the WWE IP holds in sports outside of pro wrestling. WWE Superstars can often be found at other major sporting events, including the Super Bowl and Major League Baseball games. WWE will remain in Indianoplis for this weekend’s 2025 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, the official launching point for the Road to WrestleMania 41.
Montez Ford has openly addressed speculation about the Street Profits’ partnership ahead of a pivotal WWE Tag Team Championship match against the Motor City Machine Guns scheduled for next week’s SmackDown.
During an emotional appearance on SmackDown Lowdown, Ford discussed the team’s recent struggles, particularly highlighting their challenging transition following Bobby Lashley’s departure to AEW. The Street Profits, along with B-FAB, have been working to redefine their identity in the aftermath.
“Four years of drought. No WWE Tag Team Championship, not in the conversation with everybody,” Ford emphasized, acknowledging that the team’s trademark optimistic demeanor often masked deeper frustrations within the group.
Ford made it clear that next week’s championship opportunity represents a crucial moment for the Street Profits, declaring it “WWE Tag Team Championship or bust” and emphasizing there is no backup plan. This statement comes at a time when rumors have circulated about potential singles opportunities, particularly after comments from Ford’s wife, Bianca Belair.
The upcoming match against the Motor City Machine Guns will not only determine the fate of the Tag Team Championships but could also signal a defining moment in the Street Profits’ trajectory as a team.
While Montez Ford is grateful to be a WWE star, he has openly expressed frustration with the ups and downs of his 2024 run. From his pairing with Bobby Lashley to losses alongside Angelo Dawkins as part of the Street Profits, this year has presented its share of challenges for Ford.
In a recent interview with Mail Sport’s Lewis Browning, Ford shared his honest thoughts on his current WWE journey. “To say that everything is good would be a lie,” Ford admitted.
“There’s always pleasure in doing what you love, what you admire, what you’ve dreamt of, and what you have passion for,” he said. “But it does get frustrating when you’re trying to accomplish something, and it feels like it’s either taking too long, or nothing’s happening.”
Ford pointed out that it’s been four years since the Street Profits last held the Tag Team Championship. While he loves being part of WWE, he finds the booking decisions increasingly frustrating.
“I’m not going to lie and say I don’t see the comments and reactions,” Ford shared. “I watch everything. We’re not in conversations about top tag teams, or anything wrestling-related beyond getting handled by The Bloodline, and that doesn’t sit well with me. So, while I’m living my dream, it’s as frustrating as it is rewarding.”
Ford also noted the personal challenges of the past year, including the loss of his grandfather and Dawkins’s loss of his mother. Despite these setbacks, Ford remains focused on becoming a champion in WWE once again.
The WWE Universe could soon see a darker side to Montez Ford, as the Street Profits member is growing increasingly impatient in his current WWE SmackDown role. Speaking to the Daily Star ahead of WWE’s upcoming tour of the UK, Ford reflected on the recent heel turn of Kevin Owens and teased that he could be going down a similar path.
“You seen what happened to Kevin Owens recently, he’s a little frustrated. I feel like I’m on the verge of becoming the same way. How many times do I have to takedown another variant of the Bloodline?”
Between the original Bloodline and the new variant led by Solo Sikoa, Ford has spent years taking on members of the dominant faction. It’s easy to see why Ford is growing impatient, as it’s been close to four years since either he or Angelo Dawkins held championship gold.
It wasn’t too long ago that fans had high expectations for Ford as a potential singles star, with the charismatic wrestlereven receiving an endorsement by The Rock. Despite a wave of momentum, Ford has yet to receive the big solo push that seemed destined for the 34-year-old just a few years ago.
Ford and Dawkins were most recently in action on this week’s SmackDown where they defeated Pretty Deadly. While a win is always a good thing, the Street Profits remain far removed from the tag title picture, and with the gold now held by the Motor City Machine Guns, it remains to be seen if Montez snaps just like Kevin Owens in the coming weeks and months.
The WWE roster has had plenty to say following Night Two of the 2024 Draft taking place during the April 29, episode of Monday Night Raw.
This year’s draft continued on the red brand with 20 selections being made in total. On Twitter, Chelsea Green was excited about new opportunities after she (and Piper Niven) were moved to SmackDown.
Bianca Belair was pleased that the ‘Big 3’ will be staying on SmackDown. Naomi has also been picked by the blue brand while Bianca Belair was the #1 pick during Night One of the draft.
The Pride, consisting of Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab will be staying on SmackDown. Lashley gave an ominous message to those on the blue brand.
Braun Strowman was selected by Raw and made his first WWE TV appearance in months following an injury. The Monster Among Men confronted U.S. Champion Logan Paul on Raw and had a warning after his appearance.

The new rosters will officially come into effect following the WWE Backlash: France Premium Live Event on May 4. There will also be the Supplemental Draft: Night Two that will see more Superstars be chosen. Anyone who isn’t picked after the Supplemental Draft will be considered a free agent and eligible to be picked down the line.
More on the 2024 WWE Draft
Here are some recent articles regarding the 2024 WWE Draft as the landscape of WWE continues to change:
The Superstars of WWE will be able to flex their game-show muscles as part of an upcoming episode of Celebrity Family Feud.
Taking to Twitter, Bianca Belair shared some photos from the taping and revealed that she is the captain of her team which consists of Belair, Jade Cargill, ‘Michin’ Mia Yim, Sonya Deville, and Zelina Vega.
The quintet of women will be up against Belair’s husband Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins, Bobby Lashley, SmackDown Tag Team Champion Austin Theory, and LA Knight.
In a tweet of his own, Austin Theory was his usual cocky self at the Celebrity Family Feud taping.
It’s also worth noticing that Sonya Deville was part of the taping and did not need any sort of leg brace. The former Women’s Tag Team Champion has been out of action since June 2023 with an ACL injury, and the fact that she was able to do this taping unimpeded suggests that a return to the ring may be in the near future.
WWE On Game Shows
WWE appearances on Family Feud date as far back as 1992. In 2022, Rey Mysterio led a team of his family against The Miz. Team Mysterio would feature Dominik mere months before he turned on his Hall of Fame father to join The Judgment Day.
WWE Superstars have also appeared on The Weakest Link, with Triple H, Kane, and Xavier Woods proving their mental superiority in separate episodes. Superstars have also appeared on Wheel of Fortune.
The fact that WWE Superstars are set to appear on the show is another sign of the promotion’s ongoing popularity in the mainstream. With WWE firing on all cylinders right now, expect more big moves by the Superstars both in and out of the ring.
Several WWE Superstars are applying the term “when in Rome” to their stay in Perth, Australia ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber.
Footage has surfaced of an array of names holding a koala before they have to step in between the ring ropes this weekend and it’s pretty heartwarming for animal lovers.
LA Knight, Bianca Belair, Pete Dunne, Montez Ford, Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae all got to hold one of Australia’s most notable mammals. Hartwell was the only one coming back home, but the rest of the gang may have experienced something new holding a marsupial.
Holding a koala may tug at the heart-strings, but WWE will get down to business for Elimination Chamber. The men’s match will feature Drew McIntyre vs. LA Knight vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton while the women’s match will have Becky Lynch vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Bianca Belair vs. Naomi vs. Liv Morgan vs. Raquel Rodriguez.
Also on tap for the PLE is the hometown heroine Rhea Ripley defending her WWE World Women’s Championship against Nia Jax. The WWE Tag Team Championships will also be on the line as Damian Priest and Finn Balor defend the titles against Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will also have a featured segment together on the “Grayson Waller Effect.” Not only that, but The Undertaker was seen arriving in Perth for the show as well. For the American viewers on the east coast, Elimination Chamber starts at 5 AM ET.
Speaking to TNT Sports at UFC 298, Ford was asked if he’d ever shown interest in stepping into the Octagon. The Street Profit made it clear that it is something he’s considered.
“100 percent. Now I do get nervous about messing up this pretty face. I do look better in person, I know the camera is a little different. But I will say I’ve always been a fan of it, always trained for it. It is something I was talking about in the last two years, about actually going over and having a match. Seeing CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and even Bobby Lashley, the guy I’m with now, doing different promotions, doing those fighting promotions… It’s something I had interest in but it got shut down quickly by… ahem [gestures to Belair.]”
Bianca Belair on UFC
While Ford is itching for a chance in the cage, Bianca Belair doesn’t share her husband’s desire. With that said, Belair made clear that she’d love to train with MMA fighters to hone her skills.
“I would love to train and get the skills that they have. I’ve been in the ring with some women who have some of this background like Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler and they are tough. I would love to have some skills that they have. But as far as competing, I think I’m good in the WWE ring.”
WWE meets UFC 🤝
Is there an octagon appearance on the cards of either of these two superstars? @BiancaBelairWWE says no, but @MontezFordWWE didn't rule it out… 😏
While not a UFC cage, Belair will step inside the Elimination Chamber later this week for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. Belair will face Tiffany Stratton, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Liv Morgan, and another entrant. A battle royal featuring Shayna Baszler, Mia Yim, Alba Fyre, Zelina Vega, and Zoey Stark will take place on this week’s Raw to decide the final entrant.
UFC 298 saw some of the best fighters in the company step into the Octagon and also saw some notable names in the crowd for the night.
WWE SmackDown Superstars Bianca Belair and Montez Ford were acknowledged in the crowd during the event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The real-life couple wore matching outfits for the evening.
WWE’s power couple weren’t the only names from the world of Wrestling at the event. CM Punk was also referenced in the crowd. The Best in the World wore a Bret Hart hoodie for the show and was described by UFC’s name banner as a “Retired UFC Welterweight.”
WWE Superstars can sometimes branch outside the pro wrestling bubble to do big things. Montez Ford has a new accomplishment that he can finally share with the world’s ears.
Ford’s Big Announcement
Montez Ford, who is 1/2 of The Street Profits alongside Angelo Dawkins, is known for his hard work in the ring, and now he has ventured into the music scene with the release of a new album.
Ford’s new record called ‘God Is Good’ dropped, and he’s very proud of what he has to offer. This has also been a project that took a lot of time to make sure he got it right.
The eight-track album, which is now available on major streaming platforms like Spotify, shows off Ford’s abilities beyond the wrestling ring. Along with a link to the new album, Ford hyped fans about his new music drop.
”As promised, it’s finally here! GOD IS GOOD – ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS! It’s been a wild couple of weeks, but thank you all for your overwhelming & continued support with our reality show & everything. I hope you enjoy! -Tezzie”
As promised, it’s finally here!
GOD IS GOOD – ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS!
It’s been a wild couple of weeks, but thank you all for your overwhelming & continued support with our reality show & everything.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins recently teamed up with Bobby Lashley to form a new stable on SmackDown. The Pride is still doing their thing, confident in their current feud against Karrion Kross’ Final Testament faction with AOP.
Ford is not hanging up his pro wrestling boots by a long shot. He has a lot more to accomplish, but at the same time, he can’t wait to share his musical endeavor with his fans.
Other Musical Superstars
Montez is not the first WWE Superstar to drop a music album. In recent memory, Elias did the same. Sadly, that record was taken down after WWE released him. Prior to that, names like AJ Francis, R-Truth, Mickie James, Jeff Hardy, John Cena, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and more all dropped their own brand of music.
The Street Profits member Montez Ford is delighted with WWE legend The Rock been appointed to the TKO Group Holdings’ board of directors.
In a press release on January 23, a massive announcement was made that ‘The Great One’ will take up the new role.
The Rock has been one of the most accomplished superstars of WWE and has excelled in his career outside the company as well, whether as an actor in Hollywood or in his business ventures.
Apart from these, Dwayne Johnson is involved in TV and film company Seven Bucks Productions, Teremana Tequila, Zoa Energy, Project Rock or the Under Armour clothing line that has an agreement with the UFC. The former WWE Champion also has a partnership with the newly merged United Football League.
The former WWE superstar has also maintained his connection with TKO’s holdings. It has come to light that in a future film, he will play UFC veteran and MMA great Mark Kerr.
His fans and WWE superstars are thrilled with The Rock’s new role in the company. It includes Montez Ford as well, who draws inspirataion from the Hollywood megastar.
Montez Ford opens up on The Rock
Speaking on HOT 97, Ford revealed that The Rock has been his inspiration since he was a child. He revealed that he idolizes ‘The Great One’ and lauded the legend for his endeavours outside WWE as well. He said:
“The Rock has always been my inspiration since I was a tadpole, just as long as I can remember. To see someone I watched and idolized growing up and then now like you said, shift out into these other avenues. Take ownership of his name, being part of the board of directors and just expanding his self outside of the ring is motivating and inspiring. Like you said, the trajectory of where we can go with ourselves. He’s always continuing to raise the bar. At this point, he shouldn’t even be called The Rock no more should be called the damn Boulder”
WWE Superstars Bianca Belair and Montez Ford are ready to show fans behind the scenes of their married life. The couple’s Hulu Original reality TV show titled “Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez is set to premiere on February 2. While the fans have to wait another week, Hulu released a trailer for the upcoming show.
The trailer showed fans what to expect from the show, including the couple managing their personal life and being WWE superstars. One of the interesting moments of the trailer was Ford admitting to having difficulty figuring out his place in the company in his third year on the main roster and wanting to prove that he is more than “Bianca Belair’s husband.”
The show will have a total of seven episodes, which surprisingly will all be released on Hulu on February 2. The popular subscription service usually features episodes of an original series weekly until the finale. It’s unclear why the decision was made to release all seven episodes simultaneously.
Regardless, “Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez” should give fans more insight into Belair and Montez’s relationship, just in time before Valentine’s Day. However, it seems we will also get appearances from other WWE superstars, such as Omos and Angelo Dawkins, who appeared in the trailer.
The timing of the new reality TV show is also interesting as the power couple tries to find their spot at WWE WrestleMania 40 in April.
Bianca Belair & Montez Ford Current Storylines Heading Towards WrestleMania 40
WWE is currently on the “Road to WrestleMania,” the company is slowly putting the pieces together for what WWE WrestleMania matches could look like in April. A few superstars, including Ford, are starting to be involved in interesting storylines.
Ford is involved in a faction with Dawkins and Bobby Lashley. The group is currently in a feud with The Final Testament(Karrion Kross, Akam, Rezar, Scarlett & Paul Ellering), which started after the “heel” faction attacked Ford, Dawkins, and Lashley on the January 5 episode of Friday Night Smackdown. The two groups are set for a confrontation on the January 26 episode and could seemingly continue the feud heading into WWE WrestleMania 40.
Belair is in an interesting position as she looks to win the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble Match on January 27. She hopes to challenge WWE Women’s Champion Iyo Sky for the title at WWE Wrestlemania 40. However, she has the tough task of defeating 29 other superstars to earn her opportunity. If she is unsuccessful, what WWE will have planned for her at this year’s event is unclear.
The couple is excited about their upcoming show and hopes to have a match on the “Grandest Stage Of Them All.”
WWE SmackDown Superstar Montez Ford is proud to partner with the ACP to help service veterans transition into civilian careers.
The ACP (American Corporate Partners) is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping returning veterans and active-duty spouses. ACP often organizes professional developmental mentorship programs that allow those seeking help to learn valuable work and life skills from experts.
The program was launched in 2008 and to date, over 30,000 veterans and spouses have completed mentorship programs. These include access to résumé building and interview preparation, career exploration, networking opportunities, small business development, and leadership and professional communication resources
Montez Ford and ACP
In a press release, WWE announced that Ford will be the first pro athlete to serve as a registered mentor for ACP. Ford who served in the United States Marine Corps before coming to WWE, said it was an honor to be part of the program.
“WWE has a long-standing history of supporting our nation’s active service members, veterans, and their families. It is an honor to represent WWE as part of this partnership with ACP and its outstanding mentorship program.”
Sidney E. Goodfriend, Chairman of ACP, was excited about the partnership between WWE and the nonprofit organization.
“All of us at ACP are excited to begin our partnership with WWE. Frequently our post 9/11 veteran proteges seek career guidance in the field of entertainment and we are delighted to be able to provide them with mentors from a top leader in the industry.”
Montez Ford is a former U.S. Marine, but he isn’t the only name in professional wrestling to serve their country…
Before this week’s SmackDown, it was reported that The Pride was the expected name of Lashley’s faction. On Twitter, Lashley confirmed this new name for the group, as he stated in his Twitter bio that he was the leader of The Pride. Interestingly though, Lashley would change his bio shortly after to remove all references to The Pride. His bio currently reads as:
#SmackDown’s All-Mighty | Former WWE Champion. MMA Fighter | Professional Wrestler | Business Professional | Nutrabolics Athlete
Karrion Kross’ New Faction
Lashley’s faction didn’t confirm its new name on this week’s SmackDown, but Karrion Kross’ group did. On last week’s Smackdown, Kross and the returning AOP attacked Lashley, while Scarlett and Paul Ellering watched on.
During this week’s show, Lashley called out AOP and Kross but only received Ellering. The legendary manager pointed to the titantron where a video promo from Kross played. In it, the two-time former WWE NXT Champion confirmed his group’s name as The Final Testament.
Things didn’t go exactly according to plan during this week’s SmackDown…
Montez Ford and Bianca Belair are both accomplished WWE Superstars on their own. WWE did have Belair align herself with the Street Profits for a brief period, but it didn’t take the EST of WWE long to break out on her own.
Montez Ford is a member of the tag team Street Profits, and as partner with Angelo Dawkins, the team recently turned heel and formed a union with Bobby Lashley. On the other hand, Bianca Belair has maintained a babyface character.
Both Montez Ford and Bianca Belair have established themselves within the industry, but you can never say never about a possible husband/wife storyline in WWE.
During a recent appearance on the ROAR Around The Ring podcast, Bianca Belair responded to a question about the prospect of appearing alongside her husband in the wrestling ring. She acknowledged that, while their marriage has not been incorporated into WWE programming, it could be a compelling idea.
“I think in the future, we will come together, but it’s kind of hard, because once you put us together, how do you separate us? … But I’m excited to see where that goes, that faction to me is so powerful, I just think that they’re unstoppable and I just can’t wait until they get some momentum.”
What’s next for Bianca Belair and Montez Ford In WWE
Bianca Belair is obviously paying close attention to the current Street Profits faction and Bobby Lashley. That angle could go on to do some big things in 2024.
As Bianca Belair and Montez Ford prepare for the debut of their reality TV series, “Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez,” they are obviously excited about what is to come, as they are still ready for anything.
The Street Profits will be sticking together for the long term according to recent comments made by Angelo Dawkins.
The team, consisting of Dawkins and Montez Ford, debuted on a March 2016 edition of WWE NXT, and has been a team ever since.
The Street Profits are one of three teams to have held the NXT, Raw, and SmackDown Tag Team Championships (the others being The Revival/FTR and the New Day.)
Sticking Together
Given the number of tag teams and groups that have split due to a betrayal (The Rockers, Evolution, The Shield, etc) it’s no wonder why many expect one member of the Steet Profits to betray the other.
While speaking to the Attitude Era Podcast, Dawkins was asked if there were plans for him and Ford to go their separate ways.
“Nah, never. Never. We’re brothers till the end bro. We’re always gonna support each other no matter what, we always got each other’s back, we ain’t never turning [on each other.]”
Angelo Dawkins.
Singles Push
While Dawkins has no plans to turn on Ford and vice versa, being a tag team may not prevent the Street Profits from reaching singles success.
In recent years, Ford’s ability and charisma have earned him praise from several notable names, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who Ford idolized during his youth.
Last October, it was reported that Dawkins had been impressing a lot of the right names backstage, with the bigger member of the team having as many singles matches from June to October as he did from April 2021 to May 2022.
MVP has been working for some time to try and reunite the Hurt Business, but the veteran Superstar could soon be introducing a new faction.
Upon his return to WWE in 2020, it wasn’t long until MVP rallied his own group of Superstars, including Bobby Lashley, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin.
MVP would manage every member of the group to championship gold, with the Hurt Business having won the WWE Championship, United States Championship, Raw Tag Team Titles, and 24/7 Championship.
New Faction
While MVP has been able to win over Alexander and Benjamin with a Hurt Business reunion, Lashley has proven to be unresponsive, given that MVP betrayed him on the Raw after WrestleMania 38.
Taking to Instagram this week, MVP teased that he has been speaking business with some names backstage, including his current client Omos, and the Street Profits, and NXT’s Carmelo Hayes.
Of all the names in the photo above, perhaps the most interesting is Hayes, who is yet to be called up to WWE’s main roster.
That’s not for lack of trying, as Hayes has in the past suggested that his time with NXT is coming to an end, and he is said to be well-liked by WWE management.
Hayes was at RAW last night for a match against Akira Tozawa during the pre-Raw WWE Main Event tapings.
Fans eager to see a new United States Champion crowned at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 may be in for a disappointing night in Montreal.
WWE Elimination Chamber will be the promotion’s next stop on the road to WrestleMania 39, and the first Montreal PLE since Breaking Point 2009.
The show will be headlined by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending against Sami Zayn.
United States Championship
For the first time in history, the WWE U.S. Title will be decided inside an Elimination Chamber match.
Current and two-time champion Austin Theory will defend against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Montez Ford, Damian Priest and Bronson Reed.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is reported that Theory has filmed content for WWE that is due to air in March and is holding the U.S. Title in the footage, making a title change unlikely.
Meltzer said that while the footage does not rule out a title change entirely, the line-up in the chamber does not suggest a title change will happen. He adds:
“Gargano and Ford are unlikely to win unless the plan is to split up the Street Profits, which has been talked about but unless they have a major plan for Ford there is no reason to do so. Reed is a longshot but they could and probably will try to portray him in a manner to become a bigger star. Priest could win at this stage and would probably be the favorite aside from Theory.”
WrestleMania 39
Theory may be leaving the Elimination Chamber as United States Champion, but there will be no rest for the wicked.
Current plans for WrestleMania will see Theory face John Cena, in a match that was teased throughout 2022.
Meltzer noted in his report that Cena Vs. Theory does not need the United States title, though it was John’s first title he won in 2004.
Although Montez Ford has mostly been used as a tag team star in WWE alongside Angelo Dawkins as part of The Street Profits, Big E thinks it’s time to see what Ford can do on his own.
The Street Profits made their debut in 2016 and rose up the ranks in NXT before capturing the NXT Tag Team Championships. they later went to the main roster on Raw in 2019 and found more success with multiple reigns as Raw and Smackdown Tag Team Champions.
Many have expected to see Ford break away from Dawkins in pursuit of a singles run. This includes Big E, who praised Ford while appearing on WWE’s The Bump
Ford qualified for the Elimination Chamber Match with the United States Title on the line this past week on Raw with a win over Elias.
Big E’s Praise
“It’s hard not to be a Montez guy. You talk about someone who has all the tools, charismatic as hell, absurdly athletic. He has everything, so it’s about time for Montez to get his. I’m excited to see his rise and see his run. Talk about a star. Guy has screamed ‘star’ for a long time, so it’s time to get Montez cooking,”
Ford joins US Champion Austin Theory, Johnny Gargano, Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, and Damien Priest in the Elimination Chamber match.
WWE is sending two top Superstars to the NFL playoffs this coming weekend.
The 2023 playoffs brackets are set after an exciting, long weekend of wildcard games. On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New York Giants battle the Philadelphia Eagles. The following day, it will be Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
WWE Superstars Montez Ford of the Street Profits and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair are headed to Kansas City to see the Chiefs play the Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium.
Ford and Belair will be appearing on on NBC’s broadcast of the game, although it’s unclear exactly what they’ll be doing there. The couple will soon be starring in their own reality series on Hulu, so it’s possible they’ll be on hand to promote the new show.
Interestingly, the Jags are owned by billionaire Shahid Khan. His son, AEW President Tony Khan, serves as the team’s Chief Football Strategy Officer.
Bianca Belair is scheduled to defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss later this month at the Royal Rumble on Saturday, January 28.
WWE Superstar Montez Ford is getting ready to release a new album of hip hop music.
Ford (Kenneth Crawford) is one half of the popular Street Profits tag team, along with Angelo Dawkins. He’s also married to Raw Women’s champion Bianca Belair.
In the music world, he goes by King Tez. Earlier this week, he announced his first album ‘SYAD’ is coming in March 2023:
WWE Superstars Bianca Belair and Montez Ford have a new project in the works. The couple, who have been married since 2018, will follow in the footsteps of The Miz and Maryse with their own show focusing on their life outside the ring.
Earlier this month, WWE held its latest financial earnings call to recap the company’s performance for the third quarter of 2022. WWE President Nick Khan spoke about a variety of topics and revealed that Hulu has ordered a show focusing on Belair and Ford.
The project is currently “in production,” with the first season of the untitled show scheduled to feature 8 episodes.
On Tuesday, November 22, Belair and Ford appeared on NBC’s The Today Show to confirm the news. Belair later wrote on Instagram, “We were so excited to officially announce our UPCOMING REALITY SERIES on Hulu on the The Today Show this morning!”
Ford and Belair started off in NXT together, along with Ford’s tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins. The Street Profits have held tag titles in NXT, RAW, and SmackDown. They’ve also had singles matches on RAW. Back in July, Dawkins said that there are no plans to break up, despite singles success.
Belair retained her title against Bayley in a ladder match at Extreme Rules. The two will face off once again at Crown Jewel in a Last Woman Standing match. The match will air on Peacock on Saturday, November 5 at 12 PM ET.
Although Montez Ford has been out of action since late September, the former WWE Raw Tag Team Champion recently provided a positive update on his recovery and noted that he should be back soon.
Ford has been on the sidelines for two months due to the injury. During his latest appearance on WWE Raw in October, Ford was seen wearing a walking boot, which was the first indication that he was dealing with an injury.
While making an appearance on the TODAY Show with his wife, Bianca Belair, it was noted by the interviewer that Ford had recently recovered from a calf injury and asked how he was feeling.
Road to Return
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford ‘The Street Profits’
“100% now. Should be back pretty soon. Just picking spots and making sure when I arrive, the mission is still at hand, which is with my right-hand man, Angelo Dawkins. That’s winning the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship,” Ford said.
Ford’s last match happened at the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show on September 24, while his last TV match happened on the September 19 episode of WWE Raw, where he and Dawkins lost to the Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch).
The married couple also discussed the upcoming reality show that will air on Hulu and is currently filming.
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Montez Ford is injured. The news was kept quiet until this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
In a backstage segment, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Sami Zayn bumped into The Street Profits. Zayn gave a “warning” to Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to let them know that they would need to acknowledge Roman Reigns next week.
The Reveal
Jey Uso told Ford to go ahead and say something disrespectful; he’d put his other foot in a boot. The camera panned down to show Ford’s right foot in a tall walking boot. A match ended up being set between Sikoa and Dawkins was set up for Raw.
The last time Ford and Dawkins wrestled was on the September 24 house show against Alpha Academy. Although not confirmed, that could be when he suffered the injury, or it may have been something the fan favorite star has been dealing with for a while.
There is no word on the severity of the injury or how long he might be out of action. We wish him a speedy recovery. It will be interesting to see if WWE keeps Dawkins on television while Ford is on the sidelines.
