6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 26)
5. Street Profits Stay Observers
So you have your (sort of) reigning NXT Tag Team Champions on Raw every week acting as emcees. We’ve tagged that as a moderate “down” because they really should be competing, but it’s good that the audience is getting introduced to the duo.
But Monday, the Street Profits announced a “tag team turmoil” match – really just a gauntlet match for tag teams – to crown the new #1 contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships. And guess which tag team that’s on Raw every week was not announced as part of the tag team turmoil?
Yup. It’s a weird dynamic already, with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins playing pseudo-hosts each week, but having a capable tag team announce a match and not participate in it – when the B-Team, Lucha House Party and Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins are – is just plain bad form.
Even in character, shouldn’t Street Profits want a piece of the action?
