Amidst a swirl of rumors regarding a potential alliance with Bobby Lashley’s faction on SmackDown, a current WWE champion has ignited curiosity with a cryptic social media post. The enigmatic move comes as Lashley, known as “The All Mighty,” has been orchestrating his return to the limelight by forming a formidable faction on the blue brand, featuring the dynamic duo of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, collectively known as The Street Profits.
Bobby Lashley’s resurgence has been a focal point this year following his brief hiatus from WWE. Although he has refrained from entering the squared circle for a televised match since his clash with AJ Styles on May 12th’s SmackDown, his presence remains palpable. The seasoned superstar is shaping a dominant trio alongside The Street Profits, a strategic move aimed at making an indelible mark on SmackDown.
The culmination of this new alliance arrived in a backstage segment on August 11th, where The Street Profits and Lashley vowed to seize control of SmackDown. Their declaration was underscored when The Street Profits secured victory in a fervently contested Hardcore match against The Brawling Brutes on a recent episode of SmackDown, with Lashley observing the bout from ringside.
Fueling the speculative fire, NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes entered the fray by posting a cryptic message on social media. Quoting the iconic rapper Dr. Dre, Hayes shared an image depicting himself alongside The Street Profits. This strategic move has ignited fervent speculation among the WWE universe, heightening anticipation for potential developments within Lashley’s faction.

The prospects of Lashley’s influence propelling The Street Profits to unprecedented success on the main roster are tantalizing, adding a layer of intrigue to the faction’s journey.
Reflecting on the broader landscape, questions arise regarding Lashley’s utilization within WWE.

With Montez Ford’s individual star power evident, the choice to maintain The Street Profits as a tag team is a decision ripe for contemplation.
