WWE considered separating top tag team in Draft; split T-Bar and Mace instead - Reports
WWE put "serious consideration" into splitting former RAW, SmackDown, and NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits in this year's WWE Draft.
PWInsider has reported that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins could have ended their alliance during the Draft, but WWE decided to split T-Bar and Mace instead. The original idea was for Ford to be drafted to RAW along with his wife, Bianca Belair, with Dawkins moving to the blue brand.
"There was also serious consideration put into breaking up The Street Profits with the idea of Montez Ford moving to RAW with Bianca Belair and Angelo Dawkins remaining on Smackdown. That talk lessened over the course of last week and instead, T-Bar and Mace ended up split as a team as of last Friday's Smackdown."
RAW snapped the Street Profits on Night 2 of the WWE Draft as the brand's No.7 pick. They join Belair on RAW, the second pick for the Red brand on Night 1 of the WWE Draft.
