the Street Profits just made their first big appearance under Bobby Lashley’s leadership,
so we’ll see what’s going on there. We’ll also
check out some more stories with Becky Lynch, LA Knight, and more
Let’s start things off the new look Street Profits and their big re-debut on Smackdown
So for almost a month now, Bobby Lashley has been investing a lot of time, effort,
and research into The Street Profits
After being away from Smackdown for just around two months,
the first thing Lashley did when he got back was link up with The Street Profits
And then from there, Bobby Lashley started doing his research and asking
other superstars for their thoughts and opinions on Montez and Angelo
Lashley heard nothing but great things from everyone about The Street Profits,
which made him proceed with their business partnership and what they were working on
And like we heard during that backstage segment, Bobby Lashley’s main point
that he was stressing was that he wanted the Street Profits to dress like stars,
act like stars, and carry themselves in a whole new great way like they never have before
Well the August 4th edition of Smackdown, provided a great first look at what
Lashley and the street profits have been plotting about over the last few weeks
The Street Profits ran out to the ring and interrupted a tag team
match that was going on between The O.C. and The Brawling Brutes
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins came out for this
attack while also wearing their new suits given to them by Bobby Lashley
The Street Profits looked very impressive and made quick work
out of all four men that were in the middle of a tag team match
And right away, obviously the wardrobe change was noticeable for The Street Profits,
but what was also a big notable change was of course their behavior
The old Street Profits never pulled off an attack or stunt like this before in times past
They were always a very respectable tag team that played strictly by the rules
And now we see that they’ve thrown away their old principles
and are just going by what Bobby Lashley is feeding them
A lot of fans are labeling this appearance by The Street Profits
as a heel turn because they technically took out two babyface tag teams and just
the entire act itself came off as being very heel-ish
But the Street Profits buttoned their suit jackets back up and posed on the
entrance stage before being joined by a very amused Bobby Lashley
And also surprisingly enough,
the fans in attendance didn’t appear to view this as a heel turn
They mostly cheered for The Street Profits during their
mid-match attack and then the crowd went even more,
crazy with cheers for Bobby Lashley and was even chanting his name when he came out as well
So that’s the big unanswered question here. Is this a heel trio that’s here
to just tear up all the babyfaces, or will they be a tweener sort of trio?
We’ll probably get more indications about what
exactly the new trio is once get to see some more promos from them
But for the time being, the crowd seems to really be behind Bobby Lashley and The new Street Profits
The re-appearance of The Street Profits was even well received online and everyone
appears to be digging what they’re doing right now with the three of them
It gives Bobby Lashley a very important role and it gives The
Street Profits a fresh makeover that was most definitely needed
And it’s also very nice to see all these new WWE stables and factions rising up the ranks of WWE
Obviously, WWE no longer has The Bloodline intact on WWE television,
so that’s a big blow to no longer have them around, but you have other groups
like The Judgment Day and now Bobby Lashley’s group that seems very promising for the future
As far as new additional members for Bobby Lashley’s group goes,
that may be a major possibility down the line, but it appears
that Bobby Lashley is solely focused on establishing The Street Profits right now
Maybe once Bobby Lashley fully gets The Street Profits to that new level
that he needs them to be at and they fully adapted to that new style, then maybe that’s
when Bobby Lashley could go out recruiting again for maybe one more additional member
So there’s so much to look forward to there from this
new collaboration between Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
Since we’ve already seen them get physical and take out a few tag teams,
it seems possible that we’ll get to hear from them
about what their mission is real soon on one of the upcoming episodes of Smackdown
——————————
LA Knight has been taking over WWE in recent months and it looks like
his confidence in this run with WWE has been there since the very start
LA Knight recently sat down with Busted Open Radio and he said that
he told WWE to straight up fire him and release him if didn’t connect with
NXT fans within three months, he had this to say about that topic, quote:
“When I first came back in 2021, I said, ‘Look, here’s the deal,’ I said,
‘If you feel like I’m not getting over after three months, get me out of there.’ That’s
how confident I was that just in a short amount of time, I’m gonna make this happen. I know how
to do this. I’ve been around it long enough to make that happen and you know, I had a little
more help in NXT at least as far as billing and the way I was kind of used and whatnot.
It’s been a little bit more of a struggle up here but somehow, some way, here we are.” End quote
LA Knight is right and that’s part of what makes his journey and story so unbelievable at times
He was free to be himself in 2021 in NXT,
that’s obviously where his LA Knight character was born at and everything was going smooth
He actually did what he said he was going to
do and instantly connected with fans over there in NXT
But it’s been nothing but a uphill battle for him on the main roster
He gets called up to Smackdown, but not to be LA Knight, he gets called
up to be a new manage character named Max Dupri that was all about scouting
male models and had absolutely nothing to do with his prior LA Knight persona
Thankfully for LA Knight, Triple H just happened to be taking over creative at
the time and he allowed LA Knight to slowly convert back to his NXT self
If Triple H never came to power, LA Knight most definitely would’ve stayed as Max Dupri,
and obviously it didn’t seem like MMM was going down a successful path,
so LA Knight definitely could’ve been released from WWE because of that
So it’s just amazing how all the turn of events have played
out for LA Knight and got him up all the way till this point
There’s been nothing but rumors for months now that big things are apparently on the
way for LA Knight, so we’ll have to see if that turns out to be true after all
———————
Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus were understandably frustrated about being
pulled from Summerslam after months of allegedly being pencilled in for the show
Some reports and rumors started going around that Trish and Becky could have
an angle play out at Summerslam, but that’s when Becky quoted the report
herself on Twitter and posted a picture of herself with palm trees and oceans in the
background with the caption of ‘Detroit has more palm trees and ocean than I remember’
Becky’s tweet was obviously sarcastic and meant to show
that she’s wasn’t even in Detroit for Summerslam
The on the morning of Summerslam, Becky posted a picture of herself making lemonade,
implying that it was the only thing she had to do this weekend
Becky Lynch also revealed the rest of the photos
from the Summerslam photoshoot that WWE had her take part in
Which is pretty bizarre because they had her take part in this
massive photoshoot and she wasn’t on the card or even in town for the show
So it definitely was a weird situation all around
