History[edit]
WWE[edit]
Debut and NXT Tag Team Champions (2016–2019)[edit]

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins (left) and Montez Ford (right)) in April 2019

The team of Angelo Dawkins and Kenneth Crawford debuted on the March 16, 2016
episode of NXT, (taped on January 21), where they lost to The Hype Bros.[1]
On the July 12, 2017 episode of NXT, Crawford (now renamed Montez Ford) and
Dawkins started appearing in weekly vignettes as the Street Profits. On the August 9
episode of NXT, they made their return by defeating the Metro Brothers. [2] The Street
Profits would go on a winning streak, defeating the likes of The Ealy Twins, Riddick
Moss and Tino Sabbatelli, and local wrestlers. On January 17, 2018, the Street Profits
suffered their first loss to The Authors of Pain (AOP) (Akam and Rezar), failing to earn
a NXT Tag Team Championship match at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia on January 27.[3]
[4]
 Later on, they entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where they
defeated Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic) in the first round,[5] but
were eliminated by AOP in the semifinals. [6]
On the May 1, 2019 episode of NXT, The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) vacated the
NXT Tag Team Championship, but were immediately challenged by the Street Profits.
The match ended in a disqualification after The Forgotten Sons and Oney
Lorcan and Danny Burch got involved.[7] A four-way tag team ladder match for the NXT
Tag Team Championship was scheduled for NXT TakeOver: XXV between the Street
Profits, Lorcan and Burch, The Forgotten Sons, and The Undisputed Era (Kyle
O'Reilly and Bobby Fish). At NXT TakeOver: XXV on June 1, they won the NXT Tag
Team Championship for the first time.[8] On the July 10 episode of NXT, Street Profits
retained the titles against Lorcan and Burch, [9] but on the August 15 tapings of NXT, they
lost the NXT Tag Team Championship to O'Reilly and Fish. [10] During this time, they
started appearing on Raw in various backstage segments, a move that was said to be
done in order to appeal to younger audiences. It was clarified by Dave Meltzer that the
team were still NXT wrestlers and that this was not an official move to Raw.[11]
Raw Tag Team Champions (2019–2020)[edit]
As part of the 2019 Draft in October, the Street Profits were drafted to the Raw brand,
formally bringing them to the show.[12] On the October 21 episode of Raw, the Street
Profits defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in their debut match.[13] At Survivor
Series on November 24, the Street Profits competed in a 10-team Interbrand Tag Team
Battle Royal where they were the last team eliminated by the eventual winners, Dolph
Ziggler and Robert Roode.[14] The team would hardly wrestle on Raw during their first few
months on the main roster but mostly spent time backstage hyping up the shows. This
was being done because Paul Heyman (who was executive director of Raw at the time)
wanted to get their personalities out more to help them get more over with the fans, in
front of a wider audience which ended up working for all parties involved later on.
On the December 9 episode of Raw, the Street Profits answered an open challenge for
a title bout issued by Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders, where The Viking
Raiders retained.[15] Four weeks later, the Street Profits were given another shot at the
Viking Raiders' tag team titles, this time in a triple threat match that also involved
Gallows and Anderson where The Viking Raiders retained once again. [16] On the
February 17, 2020 episode of Raw, after Kevin Owens and The Viking Raiders
defeated Murphy and AOP via disqualification due to Seth Rollins' interference, the
Street Profits came out and aided Owens and The Viking Raiders by attacking Murphy
and AOP while Rollins retreated.[17] Later, the Street Profits were scheduled to challenge
Rollins and Murphy for the Raw Tag Team Championship at Super ShowDown on
February 27,[18] where they would be unsuccessful.[19]
On the March 2 episode of Raw, the Street Profits were given a final opportunity "Last
Chance Match" rematch, and with the help of Kevin Owens, they won the Raw Tag
Team Championship.[20] Later backstage, Rollins and Murphy challenged them to a
rematch for the titles at Elimination Chamber on March 8, where the Street Profits
retained the titles.[21] They retained their titles again by defeating Angel Garza and Austin
Theory on the second night of WrestleMania 36 on April 5.[22] In the following weeks, the
Street Profits feuded with The Viking Raiders as they faced each other in several
competitions such as a game of basketball, axe-throwing, golf, bowling, and a decathlon
which was later dubbed as the "Anything You Can Do, We Can Do Better" series. The
series would end with a 3–3 tie between the Street Profits and The Viking Raiders.
[23]
 At Backlash on June 14, they were set to face the Viking Raiders, but the match did
not start due to them brawling outside the building, being accosted by Akira Tozawa and
a group of ninjas, and ending up in a dumpster.[24] On the June 22 episode of Raw, The
Street Profits retained the titles against The Viking Raiders, thus ending the feud. [25] They
then defended their titles against Andrade and Angel Garza successfully
at SummerSlam on Octo
