Despite all the potential that former Tag Team Champion Montez Ford has, The Street Profits’ star has yet to transition to a singles run in WWE, sparking curiosity about what might be holding him back.
In an interview with The Daily Star, Ford expressed growing frustration with his current standing in WWE. With frequent encounters with The Bloodline and repeated setbacks in the Tag Team Championship race, Ford hinted he could be reaching a breaking point. “There needs to be another shift. There has to be,” Ford said, suggesting a new direction might be on the horizon.
Ford has been central to some of WWE’s major storylines, facing off against The Bloodline alongside Angelo Dawkins and occasionally Kevin Owens over the past 4 years. Yet, with so many missed chances, Ford now seems to be questioning how much longer he can keep going the same route.
“I feel like my confidence is at an all-time high,” he shared, though he admits even that confidence is being tested. “You’ve seen what happened to Kevin Owens recently—he’s frustrated. I feel like I’m on the verge of becoming the same way.”
The Wrestling Observer reported that the real reason Ford’s singles push has stalled is not due to his abilities, but concerns about the future of his tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins. They noted that WWE has had plans for Ford’s singles career for some time, but the company has held back.
While Dawkins has made significant strides in both ring performance and mic skills, WWE reportedly fears that splitting The Street Profits could leave him without a clear direction.
Ford, recognizing this potential issue, appears hesitant to make the move, even though many feel he’s ready for a successful singles career.
“For a long time, there has been a push from people who think Montez Ford should be a singles star, he’s been resisting it because most people figure it’s going to be one of those things where if he becomes a singles star then Dawkins, who is very improved and very good, will probably fall into the nowhere land. I don’t know if they are going to do it now but that’s been talked about as well.”
