Montez Ford on sharing the ring with WWE legends during RAW XXX
The Street Profits were involved in a memorable segment with Degeneration X, Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins, and Imperium during WWE RAW XXX.
Montez and Angelo eventually teamed up with Seth Rollins to battle Imperium in a six-man tag team match, with Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle serving as the special guest referee. The Street Profits and The Visionary picked up the win over Imperium in the bout.
Speaking with Emily Mae in an exclusive interview for Sportskeeda Wrestling, Montez said the segment was amazing because he shared the ring with legends he watched growing up.
"That was amazing. Like, I watched this since I was a child. I loved it as a child and like to see it come full circle and being there with all those legends that brought me up and brought me through so many moments and happiness as a kid, it was amazing," said Ford.
