32-year-old WWE Superstar will probably receive a push after WrestleMania 39, according to wrestling veteran Konnan
Wrestling veteran Konnan believes Montez Ford will receive a push in WWE after WrestleMania 39.
Ford has been an active competitor on the main roster since 2019. Alongside his Street Profits tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins, Ford held the SmackDown, NXT, and RAW Tag Team Championships. A few months ago, several reports suggested that the former United States Marine could soon receive a push as a singles competitor. However, that has not happened so far.
Speaking on Keepin' It 100, Konnan addressed whether the company has dropped the ball with Ford. The wrestling veteran disclosed that he believes the 32-year-old will receive his push after WrestleMania 39.
"They were talking about if they dropped the ball or missed the window, whatever with Ford, right? No, because you have to have patience. They know what they have. Why do you think Dawkins did the job on RAW on Monday, not Montez? I think he's getting his push after Mania. They know what they have. This guy's too charismatic, too athletic, ripped, good promo, charismatic, everything bro," he said. [1:20 - 1:42]
