The New Day is one of the most successful factions seen in WWE, and another tag team is hoping to replicate their dynamic.
Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods have been teaming together for almost a decade now, having first got together in 2014. Since then, they have captured the WWE, Raw, and SmackDown Tag Team Championships on multiple occasions.
They have also seen individual success, with Big E and Kingston both having held the WWE Championship in recent years. While there have been attempts to split the group up through the Draft, the trio always finds a way to stick together.
The Street Profits have been taking notes of New Day’s commitment, and now Angelo Dawkins says he and Montez Ford have a similar ethos.
The Street Profits have no intentions of breaking up in WWE
During an appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Dawkins discussed the fascination fans have with the team breaking up.
“I think everybody is just fascinated with everybody breaking up. It happens everywhere.
“It happens in basketball, football, baseball, sports in general. Music groups start as groups and then they break off and you have that one dude who ascends.”
The Street Profits want to do things differently and emulate New Day by supporting each other whether they’re teaming up or making a name for themselves as singles stars.
“For us, we’re trying to do what the New Day did. We’re always going to have each other’s backs. When he’s doing his thing, he had Elimination Chamber and he showed out. I was there for him and sending support and making sure he was good mentally and ready to go and shock the world, which he did.
“I ain’t climbing like that and flipping off it. We make sure we’re there for each other. Everybody, obviously they want Montez to be great, they want him to do big things. They want me to do big things too.
“They feel like we have to split up to accomplish those things. I don’t personally think that way. I think we can have each other’s back and then we have our side missions, going out there and putting on shows by ourselves.
“Even though we get tired and get winded, I like to tag out and catch my breath. I think we’re good staying together and have each other’s back and showing that we can still go for the same goals, whether we have a singles goal or as a tag team.”
On the latest edition of SmackDown, Dawkins and Ford were part of a gauntlet match to determine the Number 1 Contenders to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens‘ Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.
Unfortunately for the duo, they were the first team eliminated, with Sheamus and Ridge Holland of the Brawling Brutes moving on at their expense.
Although the Brutes made it to the final team of the night, they were ultimately overcome by recent NXT call-ups Pretty Deadly, who will go on to face Owens and Zayn at a later date.
