The Street Profits say the job's not done.
On the August 9th episode of WWE SmackDown, The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) beat A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) to advance to the August 16th episode. There, they will face #DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Grayson Waller) in a Number One Contender's match for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
In a SmackDown Exclusive, The Street Profits, alongside B-Fab, were asked about their win. B-Fab said it was exactly what they needed.
"What you saw was exactly what we needed, and that was a win to get the momentum so that we can get back on the road to gold, to get the titles back to the Street Profits, like they deserve. It’s been a long, long time since they’ve held that gold. But that time is coming to an end. Time to get back to the gold," B-Fab said.
Montez Ford then noted that they had gone through some ups and downs, and they may have lost themselves by getting a little stagnant. He said that people forgot who they were, but they would remind everyone.
"We manifested it, we went out there and did what we always do. Find a way. This period, Dawks, peaks and valleys, the highs and lows, seems like we lost ourselves a little bit. Got a little stagnant, stagnant to the point that people forgot who the Street Profits was. So step by step, the next couple of weeks, we’ll kindly remind you all exactly who we are. We’re no strangers to this field. You are," Ford said.
Angelo Dawkins then stated that everyone thought they were down and out, but they proved everyone wrong. He made it clear that they were on a journey, and they had to break through and get to the mountaintop.
"We ain’t no strangers to disrespect, either. Everybody think The Street Profits are down and out. You see what happened out there. A-Town Down Under, they thought we was down and out. Now they out the tournament. Now we going [to the] next round. Because we got a journey for championship gold. Like you said, man, so many peaks and valleys. Now, we just gotta break through and get to the mountaintop. That’s the only option. The Street Profits are up, and we want the smoke," Dawkins said.
Montez Ford then quoted Kobe Bryant and said the job was not finished. B-Fab ended the message by saying that this was just the beginning.
