Well, the Street Profits might not be “up” as high as they’d like in WWE, and Angelo Dawkins isn’t hiding it anymore. Dawkins took to X (formerly Twitter, for those keeping up with tech trends and rebranding strategies) with a short but sour post: “Tired of the disrespect.” And with that, fans and insiders alike are abuzz, wondering if WWE’s booking choices have finally broken Dawkins’ patience.
This comes hot on the heels of Montez Ford’s own recent frustrations, which he aired during a podcast tour. Ford openly admitted he felt underutilized and lost in the WWE shuffle, despite an impressive run in the early days of The Street Profits. He pointed out that their short-lived faction with Bobby Lashley—dubbed “The Pride”—had serious potential. That faction fizzled in record time, though, after Lashley’s sudden exit from WWE in May.
Where Does This Leave the Profits?
Both Ford and Dawkins are vocal about feeling undervalued in a crowded tag team division dominated by The Bloodline and, let’s face it, the occasional thrown-together team. And who could blame them? Their last real storyline saw them repeatedly putting over Bloodline members, which may have boosted the faction’s mystique but left the Profits treading water. However, the duo recently scored a win against Pretty Deadly on SmackDown, hinting that things may be shifting… or at least slightly nudging.
Are We Headed Toward a Street Profits Breakup?
It’s hard to say if this public airing of grievances is real, part of a larger storyline, or a mix of both. Ford’s singles potential has been on WWE’s radar for ages, but he’s reportedly been hesitant to jump ship on his partner. Still, with Dawkins’ latest “disrespect” post, a heel turn or split seems more possible than ever. Some fans are already theorizing that the Street Profits’ frustrations could be used to fuel an angle, giving them a darker, edgier direction that could revitalize their WWE status.
For now, Dawkins has a reason to celebrate outside the ring: he and his wife Grace just welcomed a second child in September. But as far as WWE goes, it seems Dawkins is ready for more than just the occasional storyline scrap. Will this lead to a major shake-up? Will Ford and Dawkins go their separate ways, or will they take the frustrations out on the division that’s kept them down? Stay tuned—these Profits have something to prove, and they’re not staying quiet anymore.
