Embracing the Dark Side: Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins on Their Heel Turn and Lashley’s Mentorship

The Street Profits, consisting of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, have been under former world champion Bobby Lashley’s tutelage as they navigate the complexities of their newfound heel personas. However, their journey hit a rough patch on a recent episode of “WWE SmackDown.” Following a loss to Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar, Lashley expressed his disappointment, even demanding the return of their suits.

Addressing the incident on “The Bump,” both Ford and Dawkins candidly spoke about Lashley’s influence and the need for them to be more assertive in the ring. Dawkins reflected on his hesitation during the match, admitting, “I had the chance to capitalize, but I held back. We’ve often taken the moral high ground, but it hasn’t always worked in our favor. Maybe Lashley’s guidance is what we need to reach our potential, and I deviated from that path. His criticism was spot on. We need to be more decisive and seize opportunities.”

The Street Profits’ transformation from fan-favorites to embracing their darker side has been intriguing to watch. With Lashley’s mentorship, they are exploring a different dimension of their characters. While the recent criticism from Lashley was a setback, it’s evident that the duo values his guidance and sees it as a roadmap to success.
