Bianca Belair reveals why husband Montez Ford has not begun WWE singles career
A year after Bianca Belair kicked off her WWE main roster run at WrestleMania, she headlined the event. In her first appearance at The Show of Shows, she saved The Street Profits, a notable tag team currently performing on SmackDown, consisting of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
The Street Profits have been there, done that, when it comes to everything a tag team can achieve in the division. They have held all the available titles in the company today, making them a Triple Crown Tag Team Champions. Former WWE Champion Big E once claimed Montez Ford "screams star," believing that the latter could eventually become a world champion.
Speaking on The Masked Man Show, Belair opened up about her husband Ford, who is often singled out as an exceptional talent with regard to not only his work in the ring but also his look:
"Yeah, I mean he's [Montez Ford] ready. He is ready. He loves being in a tag team, [Angelo] Dawkins is his brother, and sometimes he goes back and forth. He’s ready, then he gets guilty, he feels guilty. He’s like, 'That’s my boy, I should want to do as much as I can in this tag team.' But he’s ready. I always tell him, it’s just not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. All that man needs is the opportunity, and he will skyrocket." [H/T: Fightful.com]
The EST of WWE also admitted that Montez Ford has supported her a lot when she headlined WrestleMania and that she wants to do the same when the time comes.
She further added that when Ford finally kickstars a singles run, it will be "colossal," because he has everything a WWE Superstar needs. According to Belair, it is only a matter of time.
Montez Ford intends to follow the footsteps of fellow WWE veterans
Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, and CM Punk have a mixed martial arts background. The Beast Incarnate, especially, much like his WWE career, also had a noteworthy run in UFC. While attending a UFC event in February, Montez Ford opened up to TNT Sports about his aspirations to step into the octagon.
Ford revealed that Lesnar, Lashley, and Punk inspired him to train for it and eventually intends to fight:
"100% I will say. I’ve always been a fan of it, always been training for it. It is something I was talking about in the last two years about actually going over and having a match. Seeing CM Punk, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, doing different promotions. Something I had interest in but it got shut down quickly," he said.
For now, it appears The Street Profits will continue as a unit. Last week on the final episode of SmackDown on FOX, they teamed up with #DIY in a losing effort against The Bloodline in the show's main event.
