The latest update on The Street Profits is the kind of report that will get fans talking, not just because Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are one of WWE’s best tag teams, but because their absence has gone on far longer than it ever should have. WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select first reported that The Street Profits have been discussed creatively and that a return could be in the works, with Fightful helping bring the update into wider circulation.
The wording is important. This is not a report saying WWE has finalized a return date or locked the team into a specific storyline. But it is the clearest sign in months that there is finally movement. After being off television for an extended period, Ford and Dawkins are at least back in creative discussions, and that alone is enough to make this report notable.
What makes the story more interesting is the context behind it. Earlier reports indicated that The Street Profits were kept off television as part of a creative decision rather than because of injury. That explanation may have been understandable at first, but it became harder to justify as the months went on, especially with SmackDown’s tag division losing some of the energy it had when The Profits were a central part of it.
That is the bigger issue here. The Street Profits are not a team that felt stale or used up. They are one of the most reliable acts WWE has in the tag division, with charisma, chemistry, promo ability, and a proven track record in big matches. Taking them off television did not help the division. If anything, it made the scene feel thinner and less important.
That is why this report matters beyond the obvious return talk. It is a reminder that Ford and Dawkins should have remained part of the picture all along. WWE has spent years showing that The Street Profits can connect with crowds, deliver when the stakes are high, and add credibility to any tag title program they are put in. Teams like that are supposed to be featured, not quietly left out of the mix for months at a time.
The reaction to this update also says a lot. Fans never really stopped asking where The Street Profits were, and that speaks to their value. They are not an act people forgot about. Their absence has only made it more obvious how useful they are to the overall health of WWE’s tag team division.
Now the focus shifts to whether creative can turn that internal discussion into something meaningful on television, because if this team is finally on the way back, WWE needs to make it count.

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
