Montez Ford returned noticeably bigger after the Street Profits’ hiatus from WWE.
Ford and his partner, Angelo Dawkins, were back in the ring during NXT’s three-city live event tour last week. Footage from the Nashville stop has since gone viral, revealing a bulked-up Ford.
As the former tag team champions teamed with Hank and Tank against DarkState, Ford — standing on the apron — playfully had Dawkins help peel him out of his ring gear. Once his jacket came off, Ford turned to the crowd and struck a pose.
“I got my weight up,” Ford shouted before turning his focus back to the match.
The Street Profits have been absent from WWE programming since early fall. Their last SmackDown appearance came on Oct. 10 in a loss to the then–tag team champion Wyatt Sicks, followed by a final outing on the Oct. 30 episode of Main Event — a win over Los Garza that aired on Peacock.
In January, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Ford and Dawkins were healthy and that WWE was keeping them off TV “to allow them to freshen up.”
There has been no update on when the Street Profits might return to TV, or whether they’ll continue working in NXT when it returns to the road later this month.
