Montez Ford has responded to the outpouring of support following the Street Profits’ WWE Tag Team Championship victory on SmackDown. Ford and Angelo Dawkins defeated Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa on the March 14 episode to claim the titles.

The championship victory marks the first time in four years that the Street Profits have held gold in WWE. Their win has generated significant positive reaction across social media.

Ford shared his appreciation through a message on Twitter, expressing gratitude to fans for supporting their journey back to championship status.

Very overwhelmed by the love, appreciation, text messages, calls, videos from everyone. It means a lot to mean so much to many people.

Thanks for being with us for the entire 4+year journey of getting our titles back. We celebrating all week till the wheels fall off.

Thank you GOD & thank you to the entire fanbase. God Bless yall & job’s just starting. -Tez.

The Street Profits defeated Gargano and Ciampa in a hard-fought contest on SmackDown, ending their opponents’ championship reign. With this victory, Ford and Dawkins add another title run to their WWE resume.

WWE has not yet announced which teams might step up to challenge the new champions for their first title defense.

The Street Profits have returned to the top of the tag team division. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins captured the WWE Tag Team Titles on WWE SmackDown by defeating DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa).

The match concluded when Gargano accidentally hit Ciampa with a superkick as Dawkins ducked the Meet In The Middle finisher. Dawkins quickly capitalized by hitting Gargano with a spine buster, setting up Ford to deliver a frog splash for the victory.

This victory marks the second WWE Tag Team Championship reign for The Street Profits. Their previous tag team title run ended in 2021, making this their first championship victory in approximately four years.

DIY’s championship reign ends after 98 days with the team having made three successful title defenses during their time as champions.

Montez Ford shared an emotional message on social media ahead of The Street Profits’ upcoming tag team championship match. Ford and Angelo Dawkins will challenge #DIY for the Tag Team Championship this Friday on SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain.

Ford posted a match graphic of the title bout on Instagram accompanied by a message reflecting on his WWE journey alongside Dawkins. He addressed the team’s lack of recent recognition despite their past accomplishments.

Dawkins & I have been a tag team going on for almost 9 years now. In April of 2015, I signed with the @wwe & this Wrestlemania 41, I will celebrate my 10th year with the company & I’ve been with my brother Dawkins the entire time. We did a great brief stint in 2019 in @wwnevolve where we won the Evolve Tag Titles. We later won the @NXT Tag Titles that same year at NXT TakeOver 25. Then the WWE RAW & SmackDown Tag Titles in 2020 (Took those reigns through the entire pandemic with yall) making us the 2nd EVER Triple Crown Tag Team Champions. And the FIRST Black Tag Team to accomplish this. That was then, and way too many people live off what was, instead of, what IS.

Ford continued by asserting that The Street Profits have been overlooked recently and promised change with their upcoming championship opportunity.

And what is a fact is that we haven’t been in no ones conversation, for anything, for a while now. Not For billboards, not for Wrestlemania, not for tag teams, not for titles, not for flowers, nor acknowledgment, & rightfully so, cause it’s no one’s fault, but ours. This isn’t meant to be a pity story, it’s a warning for change. We been fighting for years for somebody to see us. We were ok with NOT being ok, because that’s what we were taught. And that’s what ended up in our long demise. Competition is extremely broad now a days. Superstars are starving for the exact same thing we want; Attention & Validation. And nothing holds more validation for my brother Dawkins & I than the TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS. We done getting stared at in the hallways like we some sort of strangers to these walls. We been had this BIH open, and come Friday in BARCELONA, the PROFITS officially return to our rightful thrones. DIY, we told the world the violence would be televised, so just know this Friday, nothing is personal, it’s just PROFITS. AND NEW, CAUSE WE WANT SMOKE.

The Street Profits turned heel at Royal Rumble after teasing the character change for several weeks. Ford and Dawkins cost Motor City Machine Guns the WWE Tag Team Championship, allowing #DIY to retain their titles.

After the match, The Street Profits also attacked champions Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, setting the stage for their upcoming championship confrontation on SmackDown in Barcelona.
