After carrying the Raw or SmackDown Tag Team Championships for the last 10 months, the Street Profits no longer hold WWE gold. In a surprising turn during SmackDown on Friday night, the team of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins lost their titles to Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. Or in other words, not most people’s top pick to unseat the dominant tag team champions.
The two teams did have an excellent match that had fans raving on social media. Ford in particular was his usual self. That is, turning heads with his high flying offense and charisma, undoubtedly someone who will be a top singles star in WWE at some point down the line.

Ford ended up selling a hurt leg throughout the end of the match. Roode went for his DDT but Ford was able to escape and hit an enziguiri kick. Soon after, Ziggler tagged in and he and Roode hit their double team spinebuster into the Zig-Zag. Ziggler covered for the pinfall.
