Smoke Wanted: Update On Recent Reports Regarding The Street Profits' WWE Status
They’re good. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, there is going to be a point where someone is unhappy with what is going on.
wrestlingrumors.netHere’s the latest on The Street Profits as of mid-2026 based on recent reporting and public updates.
What happened most recently
- The Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, have been less visible on WWE television for several months, with reports noting they were taken off TV to refresh and rework their positioning rather than due to injuries. This aligns with corroborating notes from industry outlets around January 2026 suggesting a temporary absence to repackage or reintroduce them.[4][6]
- Some outlets have indicated they were seen training together and were expected to return soon, while others reported they were slated for non-televised WWE events (e.g., NXT Live events) during that period, signaling a potential shift in how WWE planned to use them going forward. This mix of appearances off TV and talk of a return is common when a team is being repositioned rather than released or terminated.[7][4]
Context and implications
- The Street Profits have historically been a high-profile tag team within WWE, winning the WWE Tag Team Titles in 2024 and being central to the brand’s tag division, so extended absence typically points to booking strategy changes or a staged return rather than a breakup or departure.[3][6]
- Breakup rumors persist in fan and media discourse when a long tag-team run experiences gaps in television, but multiple credible outlets in early 2026 framed the situation as a work-in-progress rather than a cancellation of the team.[4][7]
Key sources you can check for the latest developments
- WWE and wrestling news outlets covering absence patterns, return timing, and any on-screen or backstage statements regarding The Street Profits.[6][7][4]
- Updates on social media and wrestling-specific sites for any new announcements or match bookings tied to their return date or new character direction.[7][4]
Illustration
- A potential scenario going forward could involve a temporary reintroduction storyline in NXT or a recalibrated push within the main roster’s tag division, followed by a coordinated return to televised programming with a fresh angle to re-energize the tag team scene.[4][7]
