The Street Profits secured a future shot at the WWE Tag Team Titles against the Wyatt Sicks on the September 26 episode of SmackDown, broadcast from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. Montez Ford delivered the winning pin over The Miz in the show’s opening bout, earning his team the opportunity.
The number one contender’s contest featured Ford and Angelo Dawkins facing The Miz and Carmelo Hayes. As the first match of the night, it set the tone for the event and carried high stakes for both teams.
Midway through, Hayes landed his First 48 on Ford. However, before he could capitalize, The Miz tagged himself into the action. That decision shifted the momentum and opened the door for the finish.
Ford regained control and connected with his From The Heavens to pin The Miz. Hayes appeared ready to intervene but ultimately chose not to break the count, allowing the Profits to advance.
After the match, Michael Cole announced that the title bout will take place “down the line.” Moments later, the Wyatt Sicks arrived at ringside. They positioned themselves at the announce desk and confronted the victorious challengers, escalating tensions ahead of the upcoming clash.
